Come enjoy a slice of birthday cake and refreshments at the Oklahoma Territorial Museum in honor of a revolutionary Oklahoman at Cake with Kate: Kate Barnard's 150th Anniversary Celebration. Barnard was the first woman to be elected to a statewide office in Oklahoma in 1907, a time when women were not even allowed to vote. She was a popular social reformer who dedicated herself to political and social reform on behalf of orphaned, mentally ill, incarcerated, and poor Oklahoma residents. 

Annette Wisk Jacobi, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Commission on Children & Youth, will be the guest speaker at the celebration. Jacobi will discuss her work for the commission and Barnard's influence on her career.
