Dixon Township and Dixon Public Library present “The Founding Mothers”

See “The Founding Mothers” at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 27 at Dixon Public Library, 221 S Hennepin Ave., as a part of the week-long USA 250th celebration.

The “Mothers” of America aren’t often mentioned – the women whose influence on the early years of the United States reverberated for centuries afterwards. Whether they assisted in the years-long Revolutionary War, or had one brief moment of heroism, their actions had long-lasting and nation-building effects. Learn about soldiers, writers, printers, scholars, farmers, artists, and spies – all women, and all vital to our nation’s history.
