My dad and I traveled to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2011 because his sister died unexpectedly. I lived in Portland, Oregon, and he lived in NW Indiana, an hour from Chicago. We visited Seneca Falls, New York, on the way back from Massachusetts.

Sequel to Suffragists & Seneca Falls

My most recent post was an account of the trip my dad and I took to Seneca Falls, NY, where we visited Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s house and the Women’s History Museum. I listed a few books I saw in the shop, but here is a much longer list. I delved into suffrage history in 2020.
