The Boston Women's Heritage Trail: The Future is Hers

To celebrate Women’s History Month the Jamaica Plain Historical Society is hosting a presentation by the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail. In 1989, a group of Boston Public School teachers and students decide to highlight the overlooked contributions of women to Boston’s history. Modeled after the Freedom Trail and Black Heritage Trail, the BWHT celebrates the past accomplishments of remarkable women in Boston, claiming their rightful place in our City’s history through education, reflection, and an interactive city-wide monument. For the last 30 years, the BWHT has functioned as a volunteer-only program. They have developed self-guided walking tours in 14 Boston neighborhoods and identified 300+ landmarks across the city highlighting the unique contributions of women in Boston. They helped get the Boston Women’s Memorial erected on Commonwealth Avenue among other accomplishments. In 2024, BWHT obtained its own 501c(3) status and this fall deployed some new trail markers in Jamaica Plain. They will be hiring a new Executive Director in 2025. Come along to learn about exciting future plans the BWHT have for activating the powerful female side of Boston’s history. This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. It will be in a hybrid format. Please attend in person or, if you prefer, you can register to attend via Zoom using this link: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YOIr99P5QJCuEPHh9Iy8_Q">https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YOIr99P5QJCuEPHh9Iy8_Q</a> Please note: if a snow event occurs that closes the Boston Public Library system, the event will only take place via Zoom.
