Join members of the League, the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association, and The Historical Society of Oak Park-River Forest to celebrate the installation of a marker honoring suffragist Grace Wilbur Trout on the National Votes for Women Trail.

Grace Wilber Trout spearheaded the state's campaign for suffrage as the president of the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association (IESA) from 1912 to 1920. Once the Nineteenth Amendment was enacted, IESA was succeeded by the League of Women Voters of Illinois. Trout signed the Illinois League's incorporation documents.

The marker will be installed at the site of Trout's home in Oak Park. The dedication ceremony will be followed by a reception at the nearby Nineteenth Century Club building, one of many unmarked suffrage sites included in the online National Votes for Women Trail. Oak Park is also home to the Scoville Institute and the homes of Dr. Julia Holmes Smith and Dr. Anna Blount—be sure to check them out!
