Women’s history is everywhere in Washington, DC, if curious locals and adventurous visitors know where to look. As the District evolved from a city created to house the federal government into one of the world’s most visited destinations, women emerged as pioneers, shaping a capital rich in feminist culture. Historic houses, hidden alleyways, and neighborhood parks stand as quiet memorials to America’s founding mothers who helped build the nation’s capital. Representatives from A Tour of Her Own, a Washington-based touring company, will guide audiences through key America250-related sites connected to the nation’s founding, highlighting both the women whose stories are marked and those whose legacies remain hidden in plain sight.
