2021 EVENTS

Elizabeth is finally home To Johnstown, the birthplace where she lived until she was 26 years old. It has  taken a dozen years to make this happen.
 

The statue was placed in the Sir William Johnson Memorial Park which lies between the Fulton County Courthouse where she spent a lot of time and the site of her home which is the present site of the Berkshire Bank. The celebration took place on August 26th, 2021, Women’s Equality Day. There was Music and Speeches and Food Trucks and a talk by Sue Macy, author of Wheels of Change, on the importance of bicycling to the suffrage movement. Coline Jenkins, Elizabeth’s great great granddaughter was here as well as Matt Glenn, the sculptor of Elizabeth. The ceremony was attended by well over 200 people.

The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts officially unveiled its
2020 Women’s Movement: Art By, About and For Women Show
