Mayor Greenberg unveils first Louisville historical marker in new program, honoring women’s rights activist Dixie Demuth. The marker is a part of the Metro Historical Marker Program, an initiative established by the Metro Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission to commemorate significant people, places, and events that have shaped Louisville’s history.

Historical marker dedicated in honor of Ochlocknee folk artist Laura Pope Forester and Pope’s Museum (Georgia). The museum is considered one of the ‘oldest documented art environments in Georgia and the Southeast, and among the oldest remaining sites of its kind in the country.’

The Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office is currently conducting an architectural/historic survey of prominent women in Oklahoma. Through systematic field investigations and archival research, archaeological and architectural/historic resources are identified, recorded, and evaluated for National Register eligibility. Below you will find information about some of the women included in the survey. More will be added as they and resources associated with them are identified.

"We, female service members, must stick together and have our voices heard. We must tell our stories. And for those of us who no longer wear the uniform, we must speak even louder for those who still serve and could face repercussions for speaking up. We all need to reach out to our legislators and demand that they speak up, too."
