"Women in the State House" a four-panel story exhibition begins with early 19th century women's suffrage advocate Clarina Howard Nichols, continues with Vermont's early women legislators in the 1920's, and concludes with women exercising political power on an equal footing with their male colleagues.There will be a ceremony with Governor Philip B. Scott, Speaker Mitzi Johnson, and Senate President Tim Ashe, and some of the women featured in the exhibition at 4, followed by a reception until 6.

At 7:30 in House Chambers, a special Farmers' Night performance, "Honoring the 19th Amendment Through Word and Song" takes place. Marlboro College professor Meg Mott leads a dialogue on the amendment's history and meaning. She'll be accompanied by Wesleyan University scholar/composer Neely Bruce conducting the State House Singers in his original choral arrangement of the Bill of Rights, along with the premiere of his 19th Amendment composition.

If you go to either or both event, plan to stop by the Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance for some suffrage swag! VTsuffrage2020.org
