In honor of Women’s History Month in March, Historic Madison, Inc. will be offering a special program featuring a tour of 3 sites and multiple women who helped protect our Madison history. “The Women Who Saved” will take place on Saturday, March 23 from 1 to 4 PM.

Like many communities in America, some of the first people to step up and save buildings in Madison were women. In the early twentieth century, many women began to protect, repurpose, and share Madison’s amazing sites. Some are known statewide while others are barely known in Madison today. During this program, we will explore their roles, history, and stories focusing on more than five women who once called Madison their home and passion.

The guided tour will start at Dr. Hutchings’ Office, move to the Sullivan House, and finish at the Shrewsbury-Windle House. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for HMI Members, and students are free. Tickets will be available through March 16 here. All proceeds from this event will benefit preservation efforts for HMI’s many properties in downtown Madison.
