Did you know that Women's History Month originated right here in Sonoma County?!

In 1978, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women organized the first Women's History Week, which included a parade through downtown Santa Rosa.

This weekend, you can learn about innovative women throughout history via the Women's History Crawl at Sonoma State Historic Park. This event is for all ages!
