Women's Equality Day Celebration Event

  • Hopewell Train Station 2 Railroad Place Hopewell, NJ, 08525 United States (map)

This year marks the 101st anniversary of the 19th Amendment that guaranteed American women the right to vote! Come join us to celebrate Women's Equality Day!

We'll be gathering on the grounds of the Hopewell train station for a fun family-oriented program that includes:

  • A mini-play with audience participation that tells the story of the suffrage fight through the words of eight historical characters

  • Dramatic short readings of historic suffrage victory speeches

  • Refreshments, giveaways, and door prizes

  • Crafts and activities for children

  • Displays of suffrage artifacts

  • Photos of local and state suffrage activism

Local author Nancy B. Kennedy will be on hand to rally the crowd. Her children's book, Women Win the Vote! 19 for the 19th Amendment, will be available for purchase.

Town Crier Stanley Saperstein will open the program. Voicing historic characters during the program will be Hopewell Township Mayor Julie Blake, Deputy Mayor Courtney Peters-Manning, Pennington Borough Council President Kit Chandler, and Hopewell Borough Councilmembers Deb Stuhler and Samara McAuliffe.

​Co-sponsored by the Hopewell Public Library, the Hopewell Valley Historical Society, and The Hopewell Museum.
