In 1834, John J. Shipherd pledged ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅βs commitment to βthe elevation of female characterβ through education. Little did he know, there was a dynamite in that promise, and women carried the matches. This 75-minute walking tour offered by the ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ Heritage Center explores how powerful women made good on Shipherdβs promise and shaped what it meant to be a woman in ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ and beyond. This tour was developed by alumna Jen Graham β12.
Cost: $10/adult; $5/college student; free for children under 18. Advance registration is required, and space is limited to 20 participants. Meet at the flagpoles on the southeast corner of Tappan Square, across from the Hotel at ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅. Tour is weather dependent and may be cancelled by the ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ Heritage Center. Registrants may request a refund or transfer to another history walk offering if the tour is canceled. Call 440-774-1700 or visit to register.
