Women’s Equality Day Tours at the Willard House

  • Date: 08/28/2022 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM  
  • Location: Frances Willard House Museum
    1730 Chicago Ave.
    Evanston

For Women’s Equality Day, which honors the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920, the Frances Willard House Museum is hosting special suffrage themed tours on Thursday, August 25 and Sunday, August 28 at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. 

Highlights from the museum collection that tell the suffrage story will be featured, as well as Rightfully Hers, a pop-up exhibit from the National Archives that ties the national suffrage story to today. What better way to commemorate the struggle for women’s rights than visiting the home and workplace of one of the most prominent suffragists of the nineteenth century!

Tours are available by reservation only. Visitors should request a tour by emailing info@franceswillardhouse.org or calling (847) 328-7500. 

Tour fees are $15 per person. Admission is free for students at all levels. Payment must be made online or over the phone once the tour day and time has been confirmed.
