Women’s suffrage movement history will be highlighted by the organizations and individuals participating in the NYS Path Through History annual observance this year, June 20-21, 2015. The weekend includes a new exhibit at the 1816 Farmington Quaker Meetinghouse in Farmington, NY on June 20, 2015, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In a conversational presentation at Woodstock Town Hall, Woodstock, NY on Sunday, June 21 at 2 p.m., Olivia Twine will confront her youthful illusions about slavery in the North in order to reconcile with what she has learned by studying abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth’s path through Ulster County. Olivia tells her story and invites others to do the same in this free NYS Path Through History weekend event. Call 845-706-0540 for more information.

The New York State Museum has presented a master plan for the renovation of the state museum’s galleries to the state Board of Regents. The state museum in Albany, NY is already committed to present a women’s suffrage movement centennial exhibit in the fall of 2017. There hasn’t been a major renovation of the museum’s galleries since 1976.

Sally Roesch Wagner offers a 35-minute monologue as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, followed by audience interaction featuring the 19th-century feminist’s bold wit and brilliant logic. Wagner says: “Having performed as Elizabeth Cady Stanton for 26 years, I have grown old with her. I am drawing on my 40 years of Stanton research to offer a celebratory gift – the seasoned Stanton at her witty, brilliant, and iconoclastic best.” The program is limited to 12 performances. To schedule, contact barb@sallyroeschwagner.com.
