Each year, the History Center presents a new Local Legend, honoring someone who has contributed significantly to our community and the world.

This year we are proud to celebrate The Honorable Susan Garrett as our 2021 award recipient, marking our twelfth Local Legend.

Susan joins the ranks of Jim Lovell, Adrian Smith, John Bryan, Richard Marx, Bill Kurtis and Donna LaPietra, Mark and Franklin McMahon, Ellen Stirling, Ryne Sandberg, Marian Phelps Pawlick, Jack Schuler and Dr. Eugene Hotchkiss III. 

Susan Garrett will be interviewed by NBC 5 political editor, award-winning journalist and good friend Carol Marin. The setting is an intimate interview that encourages the sharing of little-known stories, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and insights missing from standard biographies.
