Robert Hughes, the town historian of Huntington, NY, has published an article about the historic road marker on the main street of the Long Island town. He highlights the background of the 1913 controversy involving the suffrage campaign wagon used by Edna Kearns. The road marker, installed in April of 2018, is part of the program funded by the Pomeroy Foundation to place historic signs in communities around New York State. The Long Island Woman Suffrage Association applied for the marker. LINK TO ARTICLE
