EXPANDED SUFFRAGE EXHIBIT

The 1906 Historic School Museum in Cambridge has featured an exhibit this summer on first 41 local women to vote in 1920.  The local exhibit also includes pictures of local parades the women marched in and some national information/history on the movement.  We have now added to our exhibit by bringing in a touring exhibit from the Wisconsin Historical Society entitled “We Stand on their Shoulders”.   It covers the history of Wisconsin women and voting.  It provides a timeline of when women in Wisconsin gained political rights and highlights some key leaders.

The combined exhibits will be up in October and open to the public on Thursday and Friday, October 15, 16, 22 and 23 from 1 to 3pm and on Saturday, October 17 & 24 from 10 am to 3pm.  The exhibit is free to attend.  We are following Dane County Health guidelines so we will limit the number of people going through the exhibit at any one time to allow for social distancing. Masks must be worn.
