Legacy Landmarks Walking Tour A Great Success!
The Vander Veen Center for the Book of the Grand Rapids Public Library and the Greater Grand Rapids Women’s History Council co-sponsored a program and a guided walking tour on Sarturday, March 6th. Both organizations were thrilled that 116 people came to learn more about women’s history in Grand Rapids. The walking tour was based on a new brochure created by Marcie Beck of the local history department featuring “women who left their mark on downtown Grand Rapids.
Besides Ms. Beck, JoEllyn Clarey of the Women’s History Council and Gina Bivins from the Historical Society of Grand Rapids, lead scores of history enthusiasts on sections of the walking tour. Sunny weather prevailed and a good time was had by all. The brochure was funded by the Greater Grand Rapids Women’s History Council, the Grand Rapids Historical Commission and the Grand Rapids Historical Society. Copies of the brochures are available at all GRPL branches.
