To commemorate Women s History Month, Naper Settlement invites the community to stop by the extended Women: Waves of Change exhibit which explores the stories of women, past and present, who were and are foundational in the formation and development of Naperville and beyond.
Naper and Heritage Galleries, located on the main level of the Pre-Emption House Visitor Center, are now reopened to the public.
The exhibit, which debuted in August, commemorates the 100th anniversary of Women s Suffrage, with a focus on local history, and with an eye toward framing it within a larger story of the different ways women have advocated for issues throughout the past century and a half. The exhibit will show a national narrative as the backdrop and highlight women s stories from Naperville. Featuring fun cultural touchstones and artifacts, Women: Waves of Change shows how the community fits into different larger movements and trends.
