Welcome to the New Mexico Historic Women Marker Walking Tour, an opportunity to better understand the stories of remarkable women whose contributions helped shape the history of our state. Celebrating its twentieth year, the New Mexico Historic Women Marker Program works to recognize the achievements of women—both well-known leaders and everyday “unsung heroes”—whose stories were often missing from the historical landscape. At under 1.5 miles, our walking tour begins at the seat of our state government, the New Mexico Roundhouse. From there we will make our way to the  Santa Fe River Walk along E. Alameda where we will visit a number of historic women markers to explore their places and stories along the historic timeline. Meandering into the heart of downtown, we conclude at the historic La Fonda. Join the journey to explore the lives of women who transformed government, politics, education, science, aviation, and public service in the Land of Enchantment. These markers remind us that women have always been active creators and builders of New Mexico’s communities, institutions, and future.
