Finding Grace is an exhibition at the FLW Bagley House in Hinsdale which highlights the contributions of pioneering social progressive Grace Bagley to American society. Grace Bagley was rediscovered while researching the Frederick and Grace Bagley House, an important early work by Frank Lloyd Wright. Grace Bagley (1860-1944) worked first in Illinois and later in Massachusetts. Her life of service included landmark reforms in childcare and education, juvenile justice, housing, immigration, and women's suffrage. Her efforts helped to build the framework of American civic life through reforms like the ‘Child’s Bill of Rights’ and the 19th Amendment giving American women the right to vote.
On Thursday, November 30, from 4:00-6:00pm, our League will sponsor a tour of the FLW Bagley House in Hinsdale, rediscover the life of an early reformer through an exhibit, and socialize over small bites and refreshments.
