You may not realize that Michigan was the first state to have a museum solely dedicated to the history of women. Among the Michigan Women's Historical Center's
accomplishments and activities are the following:
 

The Michigan Women's Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame features nearly 250 historical and contemporary women of Michigan including Rosa Parks, Helen Milliken, Betty Ford, Lily Tomlin, Gilda Radner, Dorothy Helen Thomas, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Aretha Franklin, and Governor Jennifer Granholm--and many more you may not have heard of, but whose accomplishments are equally impressive!

"We Can Do It! A Celebration of Michigan Women" Documentary
A 90-minute television documentary celebrating the first 25 years of the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame to be aired on statewide on PBS Television in March, 2009 for women's history month.

Cultural Exhibits
The Michigan Women's Historical Center develops and displays historical exhibits on the achievements of Michigan women. The Center is also home to the Belen Gallery featuring the work of Michigan women artists.

Educational Efforts
Using its exhibits as a teaching tool, the Michigan Women's Historical Center brings women's history to life for school groups ranging from early elementary through college age, scout troops and many women's organizations from around the state. The Historical Center library houses hundreds of volumes by or about Michigan women. In addition, the Michigan Women's Studies Association, the Historical Center's parent organization, sponsors an annual academic conference in the spring to bring more visibility to women's roles in history and current issues in women's studies.

Special Events
The Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame sponsors many special events and programs such as the Hall of Fame Annual Awards Dinner and Induction Ceremony in October, a December open house, the Picnic on the Lawn in June, and an annual Mother's Day tribute.
