WPS 2022 Annual Meeting
Featuring a new exhibit
"A Tale of Two Centuries"
Thursday, June 23 at 6:30 pm
Imago Gallery
36 Market Street, Warren
Join us at Imago Gallery for a presentation of a "A Tale of Two Centuries" featuring the life of Mary Merchant DeWolf. This virtual exhibit will be curated and presented by archivist Jessica Rogers-Cerrato.
Mary Merchant DeWolf (1870-1947) was a lifelong resident of Warren. She had the unique honor of being the first woman in Rhode Island to register to vote when the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920.
The Merchant-DeWolf Collection contains photographs, letters and artifacts that tell the story of a family dedicated to serving their community. It also gives a unique glimpse into life in Warren over a century ago.
We are excited to share a virtual exhibition based on this special collection. Over the past two years, Ms. Rogers-Cerrato has been supervising the cataloging of our archives. She also worked with WPS to produce a virtual exhibit on artist Henry Newell Cady for George Hail Library.
The Annual Meeting will begin at 6:30 pm and the virtual exhibit will follow at approximately 7:00 pm
Wine and refreshments will be served.
Thank you for your support and participation!
