Join us at the Florida Historic Capitol Museum for a special evening on the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment. Dr. Peggy Macdonald, author of "Marjorie Harris Carr: Defender of Florida's Environment," will share the stories of a few of Florida's Female Pioneers: Dr. Esther Hill Hawks, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and First Lady May Mann Jennings. Attendees will enjoy light refreshments and the opportunity to create a personalized centennial souvenir.
It will also be your last opportunity to view One Half of the People: Advancing Equality for Women before it closes that evening.

Florida Historic Capitol Museum
400 South Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399
The Historic Capitol is located in the Capitol Complex, at the intersection of Apalachee Parkway and South Monroe Street. Although the museum does not have dedicated parking, there are several parking lots in the area. There is a large public parking garage in Kleman Plaza, close to the Capitol Complex. When the legislature is in session, parking can be especially challenging. Spaces for visitors with disabilities are located on west side of the House Office Building in the north side loading zone.
