Downtown Dames: Historic Women Celebrated in Public Spaces

Janes Walk

Led By Phyllis A Sears, Founder @HerstoricalMonuments

Come hear the stories of the amazing women honored with historical markers and statues below Chambers Street. We’ll discover suffragists, patriots, Nobel Prize winners, sport champions, adventurers, saints and royalty – women whose stories need to be shared again and again.

We will stay on city sidewalks and have opportunities to sit along the way on this walk from City Hall to The Battery.
