In celebration of Women’s History Month, join staff from the Rhode Island Historical Society’s John Brown House Museum for HerStory: Historic Women of the East Side.
This walking tour, which covers just over a half mile on Providence’s East Side, highlights women’s stories from the 18th-century through the present day. Whether you’re passionate about history, social change, or just eager to be inspired, this unique experience will leave you with a renewed appreciation for the women who have made history and continue to shape our future. From educators, artists, and unsung heroes, this is the story of the women of the East Side.
The tour departs from the John Brown House Museum at 52 Power Street, Providence, RI, and lasts approximately 90 minutes. The tour will end at Frazier Terrace 223, Benefit St., Providence, RI, in front of the entrance to the RISD Museum. Tickets cost $15 per person and $10 for RIHS members, and include admission to the John Brown House Museum on the day of the tour.
