In this episode I explore the history of Litchfield, Michigan. Included are stories of the early pioneer settlers, a tragic fire that burned the downtown in 1894, an explosive bank robbery that happened in 1904, and the fascinating stories of people who came from this village and went onto greater achievements. Most notably Rose Hartwick Thorpe, the author of the poem 'Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight' which became a favorite of Queen Victoria, and Helen M. Gougar who became the first woman attorney to argue a case before the Indiana Supreme Court in 1897.
