Description

Join us for a special History on Tap featuring an appearance by two women suffragists! After their victory in securing the 19th Amendment in 1920, how did the women advocates continue their work? We’ll get to hear from the iconic Ida Wells-Barnett and a founding member of the League of Women Voters about their different paths in the 1920s, as Wells-Barnett continued her fight for African-American civil rights and the League of Women Voters worked to advocate for women’s issues and other causes. We’re also thrilled to welcome back the modern-day League of Women Voters of Johnson County, who will share information on the history of their organization and the work they do today.

Tickets for the program are $5.00, and includes a complimentary beverage from our evening’s featured brewery! Visitors will also get the chance to tour 1920s automobiles, displayed courtesy of our friends at the Plain Ole A’s Model A Ford Club. Space is limited, please visit the link below or call (913) 248-2360 to reserve your seats. The event will be held in the Museum’s Town Hall, located at 11600 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, Kansas 66203.
