A Party in Greeley’s Garden: Celebrating 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage in NYS

2017 marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York State! NYS awarded this right to women three years before the 19th Amendment expanded it nationwide.

In honor of this significant anniversary, the New Castle Historical Society is hosting “A Party in Greeley’s Garden: Celebrating 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage in NYS,” on Friday, September 15, 2017.  The evening will include suffrage-related music from the early 20th century, wine, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction. Guests are encouraged to dress like their favorite suffragist, or to dress as the suffragists did, entirely in white.

All proceeds from the event support the NCHS; and a portion of these funds will be used toward the creation of a special exhibition exploring the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the life of Carrie Chapman Catt, a leading suffragist and a former Town of New Castle resident.
