There is so much to learn about uncelebrated women. These are places LexSeeHer considers helpful in learning about the contributions women have made to Lexington across time and sites that speak to the process of making women visible:
Great places to begin:
Lexington Historical Society opened a special exhibition called "Something Must Be Done: Bold Women of Lexington" in March 2020. When the installation had to close to the public due to COVID, Curator Stacey Fraser created three videos to introduce visitors to women whose lives were carefully researched for the installation.

We also encourage people to visit our Speaker Series page to learn from the guests who have shared their knowledge with us.
Two important books by historian Mary Keenan include: In Haste Julia and Petitions! A Patriot Legacy.
