Welcoming of all ages, this
exhibit continues the centennial celebration of voting
rights for women in the State of Oregon.
November 30, 2012 marked the 100 year anniversary of
Oregon's Equal Suffrage Amendment. The exhibit
covers the over 40-year-long local, statewide, and
national fight, the major players involved with those
effort, and a history of women’s equality movements in
the 20th Century.
Multimedia components in the exhibit will help to tell
the story of women’s suffrage.
Notable women throughout
Albany and Oregon’s History from pre-incorporation time
to now are featured as well.
