Vision to Reality
In 2020, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Women’s Suffrage Movement. This outdoor gathering space opened in 2021 commemorates this anniversary and the rich legacy of the visionary women who have significantly contributed to the Batesville community.
Located in the parking area adjacent to George Street, this gathering space has become the center of our downtown. Community organizations continue to leverage this space as the hub for downtown events such as the annual Holiday Tree Lighting, Mainopoly, and Puppuccino.
