Kansas Profile: Jayne Pearce -- Fort Wallace Museum

By Ron Wilson, Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development at Kansas State University

Division. That's what kids learn in math class. It was also an important term for railroads.  In earlier days, a railroad's division point was the location which marked the end of one crew's shift and the beginning of the next, so it was a kind of hub. Today we'll learn about a community which celebrates its history as a railroad division point and military fort.

Jayne Pearce is the President of the Fort Wallace Memorial Association in Wallace, Kansas. She is proud of the deep history in this region, especially with the military and the railroad.
