Join us for food drinks and an evening of history!  The Annual Patron's Ball to benefit Olympia's historic Bigelow House Museum is Thursday, September 28 at 5:30pm.

This year we will gather at the Washington State Governor's Mansion.  Keynote speaker is Shanna Stevenson, coordinator of the Washington State Historical Society's Women's History Consortium.  2010 marks the centennial of Washington granting voting rights to women.  Learn more about this program and the key role Daniel and Ann Elizabeth  Bigelow of Olympia played in this important cause. Guests include the Vancouver Heritage Ambassadors, historical reenactors who portray Nineteenth Century Pacific Northwest suffragettes.

Proceeds will help Bigelow House Preservation Association complete stabilization of Bigelow House through needed structural upgrades to the foundation and exterior features.
