Join the Alexandria Women’s History Walk on March 22, 2025

Alexandria, VA  – As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Alexandria Celebrates Women!

Did you know Alexandria was home to one of the most revered female fundraisers of the American Revolution or that President Woodrow Wilson sent an Alexandria woman on a mission aboard a U.S. battleship?

If you have wondered how women helped put our city on the map, now is your chance to learn about them.

Alexandria Celebrates Women (ACW) will continue contributing to America’s 250th anniversary by leading a Women’s History Walk series in Alexandria through 2026. The next Walk will take place on Saturday, March 22, 2025. The ACW Walks will continue each third Saturday of the month.

Join ACW Vice President Gayle Converse on a three-mile trek through the city, while making brief outdoor stops at historic sites associated with women to discuss Alexandria’s heroines of the past and the history of each site. Participants are welcome to join all, or any portion of the Walk.

Selected historic sites include the Ramsay House, the Carlyle House, City Hall, Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, and the Kate Waller Barret House.

The Walk begins at NOON at the William and Ann Ramsay House (now the Alexandria Visitor’s Center) at 221 King Street in Old Town. The event is FREE and open to all. Comfortable shoes and water are recommended.
