Enjoy an afternoon tea of finger sandwiches & desserts in the parlor at the Freeman Store and Museum with Ms. Stanton, 1815-1902, an American suffragist, social activist, and leading figure of the early women's rights movement, portrayed by Leigh Kitcher. Tickets are $20 per person; advance reservations required. The tea is being offered in conjunction with the small exhibit: The Road to Women's Rights: The Origins of the Women's Rights Movement. Did you know that in 1848 Lucretia Mott was proposed as the Liberty Party candidate for vice president even though she could not vote?  Over the next four years, the museum will offer a series of small exhibits that explore the women's rights movement  and honor the 100th anniversary of establishment of the National Women's Party in 1916 and the 100th anniversary of passage of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution granting women the right to vote in 1920.
