Aug 21 Road (Trip) to Women’s Suffrage

The Finger Lakes region of New York is a great vacation spot, with scenery, wineries, and a relaxed vibe. The area also played a critical role in women’s history, specifically women’s suffrage, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. In July 1993, I traveled to Seneca Falls with my husband, Tom Shaffer, and my mom, Florence Thompson, to participate in the opening of the Women’s Rights National Historical Park Visitors Center.
