Women in history

In honor of National Women’s History Month, the Douglas County Historical Society (DCHS) invites the community to join us for a special Women in History Remembering Project celebration recognizing outstanding women—past and present—who have lived in Douglas County and made a lasting impact on our community through leadership, service, and pioneering spirit.

Honorees will be celebrated at a free public program and reception.  Doors open at 1:00 p.m., and light refreshments will be served. Guests are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy the museum prior to the program.

Please join us as we honor the remarkable women who have helped shape the history of Douglas County.
