Episode 33: Monroe County History Center
Deb once cried in the building that houses this episode's guest. Is she an overactive crier? Absolutely. Was it another deal of the century that made her cry? Maybe. Want to hear the story? Of course you do. Listen in! Sitting on the corner of North Washington and 6th Streets in downtown Bloomington is a building with a very long history. What started as a segregated school in 1854 later became one of the first Carnegie Libraries in the state and is now home to the Monroe County History Center. Visitors can explore 8,000 square feet of exhibit galleries, an expanded genealogy and local history research library, a museum store, and an education room. Join us as we talk with Andrea Hadsell, Education Manager of the Center, about the many ways our community can utilize the museum, its archives and the new Living With History program designed for community members living with dementia and their caregivers. We get the scoop on the 2200 square feet of garage sale magic that happens every June and raises over $100,000 annually for the museums operating costs. We also learn about Bloomington's connection to a super secret Navy project during WWII called Madame X, which brought the FBI to Monroe County and recruited women to assemble missile heads!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Robert Owen (; 14 May 1771 – 17 November 1858) was a Welsh textile manufacturer, philanthropic social reformer, and one of the founders of utopian socialism and the cooperative movement. Owen is best known for his efforts to improve the working conditions of his factory workers and his promotion of experimental socialistic communities. In the early 1800s Owen became wealthy as an investor and eventual manager of a large textile mill at New Lanark, Scotland. (He initially trained as a draper in Stamford, Lincolnshire, and worked in London before relocating at the age of 18 to Manchester and going into business as a textile manufacturer.) In 1824 Owen travelled to America, where he invested the bulk of his fortune in an experimental socialistic community at New Harmony, Indiana, the preliminary model for Owen's utopian society. The experiment was short-lived, lasting about two years. Other Owenite utopian communities met a similar fate. In 1828 Owen returned to the United Kingdom and settled in London, where he continued to be an advocate for the working class. In addition to his leadership in the development of cooperatives and the trade union movement, he also supported passage of child labour laws and free, co-educational schools.
