The Gage home is one of our nation’s most important historical sites. Learn with Matilda in her home and engage with history and education that can’t always be found in a textbook, including about Matilda herself! Our museum discusses the social justice issues for which Matilda fought:
The Gage Center is an educational resource and hub for discussion and dialogue about the human rights issues to which Matilda Joslyn Gage dedicated her life.
WARNING: Matilda didn’t go for half-measures. She called for an end to all the forms of “church, family, capitalist and government” that kept marginalized groups oppressed. Her ideas will challenge you so…
…before you start your visit, you must agree to the same rule Matilda's father taught her and the most important rule of the museum:
THINK FOR YOURSELF!
Gage challenges you to reflect on your own values in this museum that values ideas, not artifacts. You won’t learn where she ate or slept; you’ll learn about her passion to change the world. Each room you enter will take you to the heart of one of Gage’s commitments to freedom, justice, and equality.
Explore at your leisure, touch the objects, and write your thoughts on the whiteboard walls. We’ll be around to chat with you. And we hope you’ll be inspired to follow Gage’s direction in creating a more just and democratic world!
We are honored that our Welcome Center carries the name of Ruth Putter, a distinguished local photographer and social justice activist who supported our work, served on the Board of Directors of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and through her gift, made this Welcome Center possible.
