In celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, Gather Place Museum proudly presents “Remember The Ladies!” — a dynamic, educational, and entertaining Women’s History Month series held every Saturday in March 2026.
This special America250PA Officially Recognized Program is part of Gather Place: Celebrating 250 Years of American Resilience in Pursuit of Liberty, Justice & Equality. Each program is designed community-style, creating an intimate setting where history comes alive through first-person portrayals, engaging lectures, desserts, beverages, and a special meet-and-greet with our inspiring period-garbed women who helped shape our nation’s story.
From colonial leadership to anti-slavery and human rights advocacy, from the fight for women’s suffrage to modern-day influence, “Remember the Ladies!” celebrates the bold spirit, unwavering conviction, and transformative contributions of women whose voices and vision shaped the course of America’s 250-year journey.
