In honor of Women's history month, the Historic Bishop Home reinstalled the exhibit developed by Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and The National Portrait Gallery on "Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence," a poster exhibition celebrating the centennial of the 19th Amendment that secured Women's voting rights in the U.S. Continuing the Year of the Women. The Historic Bishop Home is pleased to showcase this wonderful poster exhibit that traces the 80 year history of Women's Suffrage Movement. The fight for the right for women to vote began in the mid-1800's and reached a major milestone in 1920 with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The poster exhibit traces the movement from the beginning to 1965 passage of Voting Rights Act. The exhibit was reinstalled at the request of visitor's who were not able to come this Fall. It will remain on display until May.

The home is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is $2.00 per person.

The Historic Bishop Home was highlighted by Ellen Gerst's Casper Tribune article on the new film about Isabel Jewell, a Shoshoni, Wyoming native who became a star. Producer Dennis Rollins selected the Historic Bishop Home as one of the filming locations that authentically represented the era that Jewell would have lived. The article which follows is reprinted with permission of Ms. Gerst and the Casper Star Tribune.

We are grateful for the year-end support we received from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, the Wyoming Business Relief Fund, the Greenwood Foundation as well as private donors. The home is a top choice for visitors looking for a unique presentation of Casper and Wyoming history. Plans for 2021 are to continue to offer tours on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p. m. and host small private events for a fee. Our major restoration project this year is a new drive through to facility the home's access. The front porch was beautifully restored in 2020 and welcomes visitors with a wonderful ADA ramp and new steps. Visitors may access the home either by the front or back porches. Parking is available in the rear of the home off Lincoln Street. The home is located at 818 East Second Street between Lincoln and Jefferson.
