Welcome back to this month’s installation of Curator’s Corner! I’ve been busy getting ready to install a new temporary exhibition at The Grove but that doesn’t mean I am going to leave you without your behind-the-scenes peek into the collection! This month, we are taking a look at Governor LeRoy Collins’ home library. He has hundreds of books, many of them gifted to him by the authors. Some of them even wrote Governor Collins’ personal notes! Which one is your favorite?

Remember if you find yourself at The Grove-- even though Governor Collins’ study is open to walk through, please do not touch any of the artifacts!

Until next time! -Morgan, Curator

This Day In History:
August 18, 1920: The 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified, legally guaranteeing American women the right to vote.

The history of The Grove itself has been shaped by independent and educated women, including Caroline Mays Brevard, who was born at The Grove in 1860 as a granddaughter of Florida territorial governor Richard Keith Call. During the movement for women's suffrage in the United States, Caroline Mays Brevard was a Florida educator and founding member of a statewide organization, called the Florida Equal Suffrage Association, which was founded on Orlando in 1913.

Caroline would not live to see the ratification of the 19th amendment that she worked to promote, as she died five months earlier, and just twenty-four days apart from the death of her mother.
