Historic Preservation is Women's Work
2026-05-14 19:00 - 21:00
Presented by Valerie Marvin
For more than 150 years, Michigan women have proudly preserved state and local history in libraries, museums, community centers, clubs, and public buildings. They’ve suffered horrific defeats–like the loss of old Grand Rapids City Hall–and won magnificent victories, including the preservation of Michigan’s Capitol. Join Valerie Mervin (Michigan State Capitol Director of Education and History) to learn about their work, legacies, and the tools they’ve left behind for their daughters–us!
