MONTICELLO — The Monticello Area Historical Society will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 in the Zwingli UCC sanctuary, 416 E. Lake Ave., Monticello.
Following a short meeting, MAHS will present “Votes for Women,” a film by Kay Weaver and Martha Wheelock. This film sets archival photographs, stock footage and live action to narration and music from the Suffrage Movement.
The passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was a 72-year long struggle. “Votes for Women” celebrates the magnificent campaign, the ultimate victory and the paths that contemporary women are taking in politics.
This is a free presentation and will start about 7:15 p.m. This is open to the public.
