Happy 200th Birthday to Harriet “Tat” Colfax, an Indiana Dunes icon, Michigan City lighthouse keeper, and (speculated) frontier lesbian. A short #QueerHistory and #IndianaHistory 🧵
A black-and-white cropped photograph of Miss Harriet Photograph superimposed over a black-and-white photograph of the new Michigan City Lighthouse with waves crashing against it. Obviously made inexpertly in Powerpoint, but don't @ me, bro.
