AAUW to host tour honoring women of Daviess County
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Owensboro chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) has announced a guided walking tour of Elmwood Cemetery honoring women who 'shaped the history' of Daviess County.
Event organizers say this event, titled 'Women Who Broke Barriers,' will take place on April 27 at 2 p.m.. The tour will highlight the stories of pioneering women 'whose legacies have often gone untold' — educators, activists, entrepreneurs and public servants who challenged the norms of their time and opened doors for future generations.

'These women were leaders in every sense of the word,' said Mary Cupp, President of the Owensboro AAUW chapter. 'They may rest in Elmwood, but their influence still echoes in our schools, our courts and our community organizations.'

Event organizers say the event will feature AAUW members who will guide attendees through the cemetery, sharing the achievements and personal histories of these women. The tour is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and bring water. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled.
The AAUW notes a self-guided version of this tour is always available via brochure at the entrance to Elmwood Cemetery.
