Congratulations to Pat White who has received the Martha Hayes Preservationist of the Year Award during the Preserve Iowa Summit. The submission, which was written by Joy Lapp, calls White a dedicated volunteer and acknowledges her work on multiple historical organizations, such as her efforts to preserve Iowa Wesleyan memorabilia.
White, who has been called “Mount Pleasant’s Unofficial Historian” accepted the award on Thursday’s award ceremony, which saw multiple projects, including the Hotel Manning in Keosauqua, recognized for their preservation efforts.
