Rockford Women’s Suffrage Plaza
The Steering Committee of the Women’s Suffrage Centennial 2020 is proud to announce the completion of the Rockford Women’s Suffrage Plaza.
On Saturday, August 21, 2021 at 2 p.m. we dedicated the six mosaic benches surrounding the beautiful sculpture adjacent to the YMCA Log Lodge. The creation and realization of our historic project will then be complete, though our work to maintain and sustain the plaza will not have ended.
This picture was taken with AAUW members from Aurora branch. They visited with Faye and Rosemary on October 16 to see the Rockford Women’s Suffrage Sculpture and Plaza.
