Cost: Free!
As part of National Women's History Month, learn more about some prominent women in history. The tour begins at the famed Bethesda Fountain, one of many fascinating tales of women whose work and lives you'll explore on a tour around Central Park.
In 1987, Congress declared March as National Women's History Month in perpetuity. A special Presidential Proclamation is issued every year which honors the extraordinary achievements of American women.
Each year, the National Women’s History Project selects a theme that highlights achievements by distinguished women in specific fields, from medicine and the environment to art and politics. The 2010 theme, “Writing Women Back into History,” commemorates the project’s 30th anniversary and recognizes efforts to document women’s accomplishments and experiences in textbooks and other educational materials.
