New Mexico Historic Women Marker Program

Celebrating New Mexico's Trailblazing Women! 

From potters to political game changers to the quiet but courageous core of communities, women have been shaping New Mexico history for centuries.

Through roadside markers across the state, the new mexico historic women marker program tells the stories of some of these women—artists, activists, educators, entrepreneurs, lawyers, healers, politicians, grandmothers, gamblers, visionaries, thinkers, leaders—whose enduring legacy continues to inspire women and men of all ages today.
