Sharing the Farm Story: the Voices of Iowa Project
Robert Neymeyer, Historian at the Grout Museum District
Iowa’s history is the story of the farm. Over the past sixty years Iowans have seen the transformation of the “family farm” go from a diversified operation on 160 acres to a specialty agriculture factory dependent of thousands of acres to survive. That change has affected farm families, small towns, school districts, and the natural environment. Despite the enormity of this transition, little has been done to chronicle the changes and resulting impact. “Sharing the Farm Story” is a video oral history project that attempts capture the memories of Iowa’s rural communities before they are lost for future generations.

Winning the Vote: The 72-Year Campaign for Woman’s Suffrage
Dr. Dianne Bystrom
Dr. Dianne Bystrom, the Director Emerita of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University and 2018 Iowa Women’s Hall of Fame inductee, will trace the history of the 72-year campaign for women's right to vote in the United States. The lecture will focus on the final winning effort from 1915 to 1920 that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on August 26, 1920. The presentation will include the contributions of such leading suffragists as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells, Alice Paul, Mary Church Terrell, and Carrie Chapman Catt. It will also include information on the woman's suffrage movement in Iowa, which became the 10th state to ratify the 19th Amendment on July 2, 1919.
Plan to stay after the lecture to view the Amazing Iowa Women traveling exhibit, which will be on display at the Union Block Building until 6:00 pm.
