Do The TRIVIA QUIZ!

The 3-day Great Texas Mosquito Festival begins today in Clute, Texas. Hm, I guess it's too late to book a flight out there...

Today is the birthday of the U.S. Post Office. On July 26, 1775, the 2nd Continental Congress established the first formal postal system for the U.S. Benjamin Franklin became the first Postmaster General.

On this day in 1975, Van McCoy and The Soul City Symphony hit #1 for their first and only time on Billboard Hot 100 with the disco hit "The Hustle."

On this day in 1979, a team of nine men set a world record in Edinburgh, Scotland, by pushing a hospital bed 3,233 miles in 36 days. Oh, those crazy 70s!

So, which state was the first to give women the right to vote in 1869?

Good luck :)

Somewhere in the Northeast maybe? How about ... Vermont?

You know, that's what I would have guessed as well, but it turns out it's Wyoming! Those wacky frontier states!
