2020 is the Year of Women throughout the country, and Delaware County and the area are putting on lots of events and displays about women throughout the year. Check out https://delcohpn.wixsite.com/dchpn/year-of-women-2020 for a list of these events, and if you are hosting any, please email dchpn_planning@yahoo.com.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is trying to collect places and stories about women and history. If you have a place or a story, please share. Let's get some Delco women on there!
Here is the article from the National Trust:
This year, as the United States celebrates the 100th anniversary of women earning the right to vote, we at the National Trust want to tell the full history—to uncover and uplift women across the centuries whose vision, passion, and determination have shaped the country we are today. Our goal: discover 1,000 places connected to women’s history, and elevate their stories for everyone to learn and celebrate.
What places have you encountered where women made history? They can be famous or unknown, protected or threatened, existing or lost. No matter their condition or status, these places matter, and we encourage you to share them with the world.
What do you need to participate? Just a photo of the place (or the woman), plus a short description.
Not ready to share a place today? Look at the fascinating places and stories people have already submitted.
