Welcome to the Wall of Fame

Slideshow image


The Wayne County Wall of Fame recognizes both individuals and families that have made contributions to the Wayne County area. In 2002, the Wayne County Historical Association and Museum requested nominations from the public. The response to this request was great and over 75 individuals and families were selected to be included in the Wall of Fame display.

The Wayne County Wall of Fame was dedicated at the Wayne County Museum in the spring of 2003. The display was recently moved upstairs and can now be found on the stage. The Wall of Fame will continue to grow as two new inductees will be added every two years.
