It's been just over 100 years since women earned the right to vote in America, and the Auglaize County Historical Society is commemorating it. The Riverside Art Center in Wapakoneta is the next site of a traveling history exhibit curated by the organization Ohio History Connection. It is titled "Ohio Women Vote: 100 Years of Change", and it showcases the efforts made by Ohio women over decades to earn the right to vote. Although the 100-year anniversary was technically in 2020, the pandemic postponed the event. However, the Administrator of the Auglaize County Historical Society, Rachel Barber, says it's not too late to celebrate.
