11/2/25 - The Fight for Women’s Suffrage in Ulster County
Dive into the dramatic early chapters of the women’s suffrage movement in Ulster County during this engaging lecture with historian Kelli Huggins. Explore the 1894 State Constitutional Convention and the determined—but unsuccessful—efforts of local activists to secure the vote. Learn how these women’s stories connect to national figures like Susan B. Anthony and laid vital groundwork for future victories. Perfect for history buffs, students, and anyone passionate about women’s rights. A locally researched suffrage zine will be available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the Historical Society. No preparation required—just bring your curiosity and a love of untold stories.
