Dr. Almira Fifield Marker Dedication

A new Indiana state historical marker commemorating Dr. Almira Fifield will be dedicated on Saturday, June 21. The new historical marker commemorates Dr. Fifield’s contributions during the Civil War and highlights the work done by women in the medical field in the 1800s despite the obstacles they faced. It is sponsored by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, the Porter County Museum, Porter County Library Genealogy Center, William Henry Harrison Chapter DAR, and the Fifield family. Following the marker dedication, attendees are welcome to attend a rededication of Dr. Almira Fifield and the family’s grave at the Old City Cemetery, located at 403 Union Street in Valparaiso.
