A Women's Suffrage Movement exhibit showcasing local connections to the eventual ratification of the 19th Amendment. It features real stories about local suffragists in the Rockford area.
This traveling exhibit from Midway Village Museum features real accounts and historical artifacts, a few local suffragists, and the ties the Rockford area had to the larger, nation-wide movement which began in 1848.
