Abstract:

Scrapbooks of Elda (Strahm) Schiesser and her daughter Linda Schiesser documenting the projects they completed as members of the Green County 4-H.

Linda Schiesser's scrapbooks document her projects between 1957 and 1964, including food and nutrition, clothing, photography, home furnishing, junior leadership, and house plants; and her attendance at the National 4-H Club Congress in 1964 in Chicago as a nominee for the National Home Economics award. Additionally, there is a scrapbook detailing Linda’s activities as a member of the Order of the Rainbow for Girls-Mount Horeb Assembly (1957-1972).
