Women's History Day At The Sacramento History Museum March 9th

In honor of “Women’s History Month,” the Historic Old Sacramento Foundation is proud to present a special Living History event: Women’s History Day that will  take place throughout Old Sacramento State Historic Park on Saturday, March 9. 

Dressed in 19th century period attire, men and women will passionately debate the controversial topic of women’s suffrage.  In addition, visitors to Old Sacramento may chance upon Living History characters as they roam the streets urging women to take up the vote.

The origins of “Women’s History Month” as a national celebration date back to 1981 when Congress identified a week in March  as “Women’s History Week.”  In 1995, the celebration was expanded to the entire month and the tradition continues.
