Women have made major contributions to the development of Arizona, but their stories are missing from our history. The Arizona Women's Heritage Trail will link women's history to historic sites throughout the state, educate the general public about women's leadership, promote women's history, and increase state tourism. This project will also create curriculum, driving and walking trails, tourist maps, a website and publications.
