We are proud to announce that the exhibit Lifting as We Climb: Evanston Women and the Creation of a Community is the recipient of an award of excellence from the Illinois Association of Museums. The EWHP is being honored for its work to make the “remarkable record of women’s achievement” accessible to the public through this exhibit. If you haven’t seen the exhibit yet, come to the Evanston History Center soon. (More about visiting the history center is available at www.evanstonhistorycenter.org.) This award goes to all those who helped make the project and the exhibit possible, especially our partners and funders, but also to all those women whose stories we documented, who worked so hard to make Evanston the community it is today.
