The U.S. National Park Service is spotlighting a number of locations where women made history for Women’s History Month.
Located in Glen Echo, Maryland, the site honors the founder of the American Red Cross. “Glen Echo was her home the last 15 years of her life and the structure illustrates her dedication and concern for those less fortunate than herself,” the National Park Service said.Located in Hyde Park, New York, the site honors first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. She was the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
“Ellis Island afforded them the opportunity to attain the American dream for themselves and their descendants,” the National Park Service said.Located in Canton, Ohio, the site honors the contributions of first ladies. The site consists of two buildings with exhibits. Although there have only been 45 presidents, there have been over 50 first ladies. In some cases, other friends or female relatives assumed the role of first lady.
“She is the Underground Railroad’s best-known conductor and before the Civil War repeatedly risked her life to guide 70 enslaved people north to new lives of freedom,” the National Park Service said. The park “preserves the same landscapes that Tubman used to carry herself and others away from slavery.”Lowell, Massachusetts, played a key role in women’s workforce rights during the Industrial Revolution.
“Walker devoted her life to civil rights advancement, economic empowerment, and educational opportunities for Jim Crow-era African Americans and women. As a bank president, newspaper editor, and fraternal leader, Walker served as an inspiration of pride and progress,” the National Park Service said.Located in Washington, D.C., the house is open year-round Thursdays-Saturdays.
