Come learn about one of our fascinating local free thought historical figures - Matilda Joslyn Gage!

Matilda Joslyn Gage is mainly known for her contributions to the women’s suffrage movement, but she also campaigned for Native American rights, abolitionism, and free thought. She is the eponym for the Matilda effect, which describes the tendency to deny women credit for scientific invention. She influenced her son-in-law L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (and another famous local historical figure!).

We’ll visit her home to learn about her social justice commitments: Haudenosaunee rights, women's rights Room, the Underground Railroad, religious freedom, as well as the Wizard of Oz and other local history.

Admission to the museum is $7 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and free for children age 4 and under.
