The exhibit, entitled "Resourceful Women: 30 Who Worked to Preserve Michigan's Water, Woods, and Wildlife," has been held over through September 2010; after that date, it will become a traveling exhibit, fulfilling our mission of disseminating information about the accomplishments of Michigan women to the widest possible audience. Through compelling stories, engaging graphics, and interactive activities for visitors of all ages, this exhibit celebrates those women whose dedication to Michigan helped preserve our natural resources for generations to come.
"Votes for Women"
This returning exhibit chronicles the history of the
women's suffrage movement. You'll be introduced to national leaders such

Creek). Among the many interesting artifacts is a copy of the Women's
Century Calendar dated 1900 which is signed by Anthony.
