LexSeeHer invites everyone to take part in International Women's Day 2026 on Sunday March 8, 2026. We'll have three parts to our "Meet & March, Mend & Make" event. Please join as many as you like!

The event will be held from 12-3 pm and include a short transcription tutorial, viewing of the national Douglass Day broadcast, several periods of transcription activity, displays, and short presentations by local historians on the Colored Conventions, Frederick Douglass’ visit to Lexington, Black women honored on the Women’s Monument, and more. We will also have a birthday cake to celebrate Frederick Douglass’ chosen birthday of February 14. We invite students and educators from local schools as well as the general public to attend. All are welcome.

As Lexington and the nation prepare to mark the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, LexSeeHer and the Lex250 Commission invite the community to step back in time and honor the bold women whose acts of everyday resistance helped shape history. On Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Lexington Women's Monument by the Visitors Center (1875 Massachusetts Ave.), residents and visitors alike are invited to experience "Spinning HERstory" — a vibrant day of history, music, games, crafts, food, and family fun.
