What did Margaret Chase Smith do after she retired?
After retiring from political life, Senator Smith launched a second career in education. For more than three years, she toured the nation’s colleges and universities as a Visiting Professor with the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. She also helped plan for the creation of the Northwood University Margaret Chase Smith Library. Once it opened in 1982, she played an active role in the library’s programs and particularly enjoyed meeting with school groups.
