Maria Early (named such, because her husband refused to change his last name to Smith upon their marriage), currently manages the Historical Clothing department at Conner Prairie; a job that she got completely by accident and the grace of God. She also volunteers regularly at Historic Ft Wayne in Indiana. In a former life, she attended med school and then detective school at Ball State University. Because God has a sense of humor, she ended up working in the library world for 15 years; before starting at Conner Prairie as a lowly seamstress in 2019. Maria is happily married, with two adult daughters. When not occupied with cloth or yarn, she enjoys: re-enacting 4 different time periods, roller coasters, camping, biking, boating, and reading. One of her greatest pleasures is genealogy; the art of understanding how her grandmothers did things. She is astonished, but pleased; that MOMCC finds her managerial and “history nerd” skills acceptable enough, to warrant her new position on the MOMCC board. She will do her best to not disappoint everyone
