Utah's 19th Amendment Centennial Celebration - Memorial Open House

In August of 1920, the 19th Amendment extended voting rights to women across the nation. It was both the culmination of the decades-long suffrage movement, and the beginning of many more struggles and conversations about voting rights in this country. This August, the nation will be commemorating this important centennial anniversary.

In Utah, we are celebrating by unveiling a new memorial to Utah women on the grounds of the Council Hall building, where Utahns became the first American women to vote under an equal suffrage law. Come experience this spectacular interactive sculpture and walk in the footsteps of the Utah and American women who fought to secure the rights we enjoy today.

Attendance will be limited to 50 guests an hour in accordance to state government guidelines. Please reserve your time to visit the monument, take photos, and enjoy activities highlighting Utah women.
