March is Women's History Month

March is a great time to visit the Walking Trail because there are the stories of fifteen women from Kentucky hidden along the trail in the Eye-Spy Game. From pioneer teachers like Julia Tevix to movie stars like Irene Dunne; from doctors like Mary Britton to missionaries like Lottie Moon there are lots of women from Kentucky who made history. There are painters and poets, first ladies and preachers... They all lived or worked in Kentucky at some point in their lives, and they all gave credit for their achievements to their Christian faith.  Since there were people on the land we call Kentucky, women have been influencers, nurturers, activists and entrepreneurs.

Learn their stories by finding the clues (all the women are marked with even numbers). Come inside and purchase a book about one of these Famous Kentucky Christian Women. Buy a packet of trading cards.

Make it an annual home-school field trip to celebrate Women's History Month by Marching around the Trail. The arboretum's trees and shrubs begin to bud in March. So you can count your visit for science as well as social studies hours.
