The Kosciusko County Historical Society will be celebrating the achievements of female athletes in 2025 with a new featured exhibit.
The “Girls in High School Sports” exhibit includes pictures, artifacts and trophies from various team sports and individual athletes from Kosciusko County. Also on display, girls basketball team pictures from a century ago – a time when team members needed to sew their own uniforms and girls basketball was just a half court game.
The exhibit not only highlights the achievements of female athletes, but shows how girls sports have changed through the years. Kosciusko County high schools have loaned the museum trophies from state titles and other commemorative items. Also on display are items such as jerseys and basketballs from the four female athletes from Kosciusko County who won the title Indiana Miss Basketball.
In conjunction with the display, the museum will be hosting a reunion of the Warsaw girls championship basketball teams of 1976 and 1978. Other notable female athletes will also be recognized at the event, which is to take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025. Indiana High School Basketball Hall of Famer Rita Price will be leading the ceremonies.
Other family-friendly activities are planned for the day.
The Kosciusko County Historical Society will open for the 2025 season on March 5. The museum hours are Wednesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The museum is located at 121 N. Indiana St., Warsaw.
