SUMMARY:Dinner Lecture: Casting a Historic Vote: Suffrage in Illinois
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an unforgettable evening at the beautiful\, historic Public Landing Restaurant with presenter Jeanne Schultz Angel and her presentation “Casting a Historic Vote: Suffrage in Illinois”.\n\n\n\n\nPrior to 1920\, women were denied the vote in the majority of elections in the United States. The struggle for enfranchisement began with the birth of our nation and was strategized differently in our local\, state\, and federal elections. Despite what people today believe to be a straightforward goal\, the path to women’s suffrage was infused with sexism and racism and triggered a fear of feminism whose roots are still seen today. While wealthy women advocates played a vital role in the suffrage movement\, they were not the only ones seeking enfranchisement. From attorney Ellen Martin\, the first woman to vote in Illinois\, to Ida B. Wells\, a woman who did not let racism stop her voice\, women’s suffrage has been a battle hard fought by a diverse group of activists in Illinois.\n\n\n \n\n\nCocktails begin at 6:00pm\, followed by a delicious buffet style dinner at 6:30pm. The dinner lecture begins at 7:30pm. \n\n\nHosted by the Canal Corridor Association and The Gaylord Building\, this dinner lecture series provides an opportunity to introduce participants to local and regional history topics during a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Reservations required for all events.\n\n\n \n\n\nFor more information call (815)220-1848×1838

SUMMARY:The 1836 Event
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1836\, Lockport played a significant part in the success and establishment of Chicago.  Join us in celebrating our great City of Lockport!  We are pleased to announce Main Street Lockport’s 28th annual 1836 Event\, to be held on February 15\, 2019.  The 1836 Event is Main Street Lockport’s biggest fundraising event\, named after the year of our City’s establishment\, and to benefit the Lockport community.  \n\n \n\nThis year’s event will include special guests\, silent auction\, raffles\, live music\, the Main Street Wall of Wine\, and VIP access to Gallery 7.  \nProceeds will fund a project to “upscale the historic Scale House”.  The building\, outside of the historic Norton Building\, was a warehouse in the 1800s when Lockport was an important stop along the waterway.  Originally used as a scale house until the 1940s\, and later used as office space for a steel fabrication company.   The scale house was vacated in the 1980s\, after which the City raised funds for a partial rehab of the building.  This year\, in cooperation with the City of Lockport\, Main Street Lockport is planning to improve the facilities\, add security lighting\, and revive it as a viable space for our City’s community and visitors.  Your involvement will help ensure this mission as well as enhance the historic building and increase enjoyment of our downtown.  \n  \nClick here to RSVP
