Long time resident, woodcarver, author, composer and performer Willard Pace will be interviewed by Anna Conner about his historical novel “Witch Ann” at the Polk County Historical Association meeting on Tuesday, April 5 at 2:30 p.m.

The time line of the novel is before, during and after the Civil War. Pace did extensive research for his novel and says he was interested in the legend of “Witch Ann” for many years before formulating his novel. Willard will also perform his original song, “Witch Ann Was a Lady.”

The program will be held in the museum in Columbus. All are welcome.
