 At first sight, this may seem like an ordinary old home. Faded blue trim, dark wooden shingles, and one simple picture window. But it is actually a place where extraordinary history happened. History that was made by women. Here, in the 1950s, Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin opened their doors to create a safe space for lesbians at a time when few such places existed. Over the years, their cottage became a hotbed for LGBTQ activism, and the ideas born there reverberated across the nation. Today, as part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's campaign for where women made history, the home of these two trailblazing activists is being documented, protected, and reactivated so that it can inspire future generations to continue the fight for equality. The National Trust's campaign for where women made history is committed to not only elevating stories like these, but preserving the places where women took a stand and challenged the status quo. Through funding, creative partnerships, technical assistance, and hands-on restoration projects, we are correcting our national narrative to tell a more truthful and equitable American story. And every time we recognize women's achievements and preserve the places they made their mark, we move one step closer to a world where contributions by women are valued as equal. Please join us in this essential work by visiting savingplaces.org slash women's history, because every place has a woman's story to tell.
