Gold LEAF Institute Course Catalogue

In-Person

On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote, was ratified.  Join this class to learn about local resident Isabel Greenwood and the part she played in Maine's efforts to pass the amendment. 

We will meet at the Old South 1st Congregational Church and briefly review how Isabel and the Church were part of the Women's Suffrage Movement.  Then the group will march up Main Street, holding banners proclaiming Women's Right to Vote, to Meeting House Park. Several Suffragists will speak about the struggle to get the 19th Amendment ratified and how important that amendment is today.

If you prefer not to make the walk from the Congregational Church to Meeting House Park, you can park in the church parking lot and drive up to meet us at Meeting House Park.
