See a bookcase and desk used by Utah’s first female state senator. Read Utah’s 1870 suffrage legislation. Check out a ballot box like the one Seraph Young made history with when she placed the first ballot cast by a Utah woman inside nearly 150 years ago.
Each of these are included in the Church History Museum’s new exhibit “Sisters for Suffrage: How Utah Women Won the Vote,” which is now on display in Salt Lake City until January 2021.
“We started talking about the possibility of this exhibit about four years ago, so it has been a long time coming,” Tiffany Bowles, an educator at the museum, said earlier this month at the exhibit’s opening night.
