The exhibit features the history of Rock County labor. WCLO's Beth Wheelock reports.

The history of Rock County's labor force is on display at the Janesville Performing Arts Center from April 20-26.

Project director Edie Baran says more than 25 companies have contributed to the exhibit, from United Way to JP Cullen. She says the cities of Milton and Edgerton are represented, as well as a display from Thresherman's Park about the importance of agriculture to Rock County's history. The project is produced by the Rock County Historical Society and is in conjunction with the Studs Terkel musical "Working".
