Description

Nineteenth century culture deemed that women should have certain roles: as caregivers, mothers, or teachers.  Women challenged these traditional roles during the American Civil War, becoming soldiers, nurses, and even spies.  Still more changes came in the early 20th century, when women were given the right to vote.

Join us for a short program about American culture in the 19th and early 20th centuries.  This program will be cancelled in case of inclement weather.  Please contact the Ranger staff at 931-232-5706 x 101 for additional updates.
