The event celebrates the unveiling of an Ohio historical marker honoring the Centennial Oak, planted by the Newbury Woman Suffrage Political Club on July 4, 1876.

Programming includes suffrage re-enactments, historic readings of the Declaration of Sentiments and the 19th Amendment, poetry, and music on the Chapel grounds alongside the dedication ceremony.
