The historic home of Maude Collins is not just a building—it is a vital piece of American history that embodies courage, leadership, and progress.

In 1926, only six years after women in the United States won the right to vote, Maude Collins shattered the glass ceiling by becoming the first woman elected sheriff in the state of Ohio and the first in the entire nation. At a time when many questioned whether women belonged in public office, Maude stood as living proof that women were not only voters—they were leaders.

Her home is a tangible connection to these groundbreaking achievements and the struggles women faced to be recognized as equals in society. It is crucial that we preserve this historic site so that future generations can understand the barriers Maude and countless other women broke through to make way for the rights we enjoy today.

This home stands as an embodiment of Maude Collins’ legacy—a symbol of determination, resilience, and the progression of women's rights in America. Its preservation means ensuring that the story of a woman who dared to lead continues to inspire. It is imperative that we protect this beacon of history from falling into disrepair or being lost to development.

Let us come together as a community to advocate for the protection and restoration of Maude Collins' historic home. We are not just safeguarding a building; we are preserving a vital chapter of history, honoring the legacy of a pioneering woman and her monumental contributions to society.
