NORTH WEBSTER  — Many know for whom Kosciusko County was named, but few are familiar with the potential controversy behind this choice. At 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20, the public is invited to join Faye Myers of the Kosciusko County Historical Society as she presents a brief history of Kosciusko County.

Myers will not only explain the arguably sneaky way the county received its name, she will describe many other memorable aspects of its history.
