About this Event

As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Alexandria Celebrates Women!

Did you know Alexandria was home to one of the most revered female fundraisers of the American Revolution, or that President Woodrow Wilson sent an Alexandria women on a mission aboard a U.S. battleship?

If you have wondered how women helped put our city on the map, now is your chance to learn about them.

Alexandria Celebrates Women (ACW) will continue its contribution to America’s 250th anniversary by leading a series of Women’s History Walks in Alexandria through 2026! The next Walk takes place Saturday, October 18, 2025. The ACW Walks will continue each third Saturday of the month.

Join ACW Vice President Gayle Converse on a three-mile trek through the city, while making brief outdoor stops at historic sites associated with women to discuss Alexandria’s heroines of the past and the history of each site. Participants are welcome to join all, or any portion of the Walk.

Selected historic sites include the Ramsay House, the Carlyle House, City Hall, Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, the Kate Waller Barret House, and others.

The Walk begins at the William and Ann Ramsay House (now the Alexandria Visitor’s Center) at 221 King Street in Old Town. Start time: Noon.

The event is FREE and open to all.

Comfortable shoes and water are recommended.
