Located at 222 Madison Avenue in Albany, the Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Admission is free. The “Spirit of 1776” suffrage wagon used by Edna Kearns and others in 1913 will be on exhibit at the NYS Museum during 2020, the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. |

Another book highlights Inez: Secret Heroes: Everyday Americans Who Shaped Our World.” It’s about time. The facts are clear about Inez, but what’s really compelling is the brief segment devoted to her in “Iron Jawed Angels” that featured Inez on a horse leading the parade in Washington, DC at the time of President Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration.
