As in other cities and towns across the United States, including our Capitol, the Westford Common and surrounding public buildings will be lit after the ceremony with gold and purple, the color of the suffrage movement, to honor the final ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920. This special evening lighting will continue from Sunday, Aug 23 through Thursday, August 27.
Generous financial support for the Westford Suffrage Centennial lighting project was given by the Westford League of Women Voters and the Westford Historical Society.
