The Matilda Joslyn Gage Center offers Self-Guided Tours (by appointment only) which allow you to explore the Center on your own, focus on your special interests and have a facilitator available for dialogue and questions.
- Begin with a short film featuring Gloria Steinem, the country’s first woman Lt. Governor Mary Anne Krupsak, and descendants of Gage.
- Sit at Matilda’s desk and write her a letter.
- Play with 19th century toys.
- Experience being an enslaved person hiding from slave-catchers behind a bookcase.
- Play the piano and sing abolition and women’s rights songs that Matilda sang.
- Spend time in our Oz reading corner.
- Dress up in period clothing.
- Share your ideas about everything from human trafficking and reproductive justice to equal pay for equal work.
