Following Hattie to Panama

Carbondale pioneer woman Hattie Thompson Holland went to Panama in the late 1920’s. She visited historic sites and indigenous villages and traveled through the Panama Canal shortly after its creation. A century later, Carbondale historian Sue Gray retraced some of Hattie’s journey armed with copied photos and notes from the Carbondale Historical Society. This presentation will feature both old and new images and descriptions of the captivating land of Panama.
