Shouldn't your community have a women's history trail?
We encourage you to be part of this work. Some tips include:

  • contact your public library and historical society and enlist their support,
  • start with established historical sites in your community and reinterpret them to include women's history,
  • read newspaper accounts of key events in history to find out who was involved locally,
  • look up the records of active organizations for a list of officers and members,
  • read geneaologies,
  • peruse old census records for data on women and minorities,
  • read old town histories that might include first-person reminiscences.
