LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new exhibit in New Albany is taking visitors on a trip to the past.
"Securing the Vote: Women's Suffrage in Indiana" shares local stories of change.
The free exhibit discusses significant dates, events and women who fought for the right to vote.
There will be some reenactments of the conversations these influential Indiana women may have had.
"These are women who found their voice," said Jackie Loveall, with the Scribner House in New Albany. "They stood up for something they believed in, they put their feet down, and they wouldn't move until they got this vote passed."
Indiana ratified the 19th Amendment on Jan. 16, 1920.
The traveling exhibit is open to the public for the next three Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon at the Scribner House on East Main Street in downtown New Albany, next to the Floyd County Family YMCA.
The Indiana Historical Society is presenting the exhibit.
