This past Sunday the farm hosted a celebration of the life of Norma Morrison. Norma was a long time Glenview resident who lead a life marked with distinctions and achievements. She had interests that ranged from photography to politics. It was in the political arena that she made many contributions to our community. She was the first women to be elected to a Village council seat in the whole Chicago North Shore. In the 1990's she and a handful of other folks formed a group called Citizens Organized for Wagner's or COWS. This group helped to promote the idea of preserving Wagner Farm instead of letting it become one more sub-division. In 1998 the Village went to referendum and secured the farm's future.
Norma's friends and family had beautiful August afternoon to remember and celebrate her life on the farm that she helped to save.
