Women in History: Margaret Manor Butler
Margaret Manor Butler was the forward-thinking Lakewoodite responsible for moving the Old Stone House from its original location to Lakewood Park.

A performer from Women in History will tell Butler’s story in the first person, illuminating the story of the Library and the City along the way with warm anecdotes and vintage photographs.
