From the mind of Ashley Bean Thornton and the actors of Wild Imaginings comes Fantastical History of Waco!
In the mid-19th century, Waco was proud to be known as “Athens on the Brazos” because it was home to so many institutions of higher education. One of the most well-respected was Waco Female College. Opened in 1860, Waco Female College quickly gained an enviable reputation as a fine school for the daughters of the best Waco families. The young women who studied there graduated as cultured ladies, well-prepared for marriage and to take their place in society. What the wealthy families who sent their offspring to Waco Female College did not know was that graduates were also well-prepared for an alternate career … as female spies.
