Votes for Women!

August 5 - December 12, 2020

The Atkins-Johnson Farm and Museum is excited to offer two special traveling exhibitions in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and women earning the constitutional right to vote. Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence, a poster exhibition from the Smithsonian. This exhibit celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment and explores the complexity of the women's suffrage movement and the relevance of this history to Americans' lives today. In comparison; Rightfully Hers is a pop-up display from The National Archives, in partnership with the Women's Suffrage Centennial Commission (WSCC) on the national history of women’s suffrage and its lasting legacy. Both exhibits are on display now at The Atkins-Johnson Farm and Museum along with a “Votes for Women” selfie station, rare books, and an original suffrage-era woman’s dress.
