Welcome

The first comprehensive state-based center and museum of its kind in the nation, the mission of the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center is to preserve the past, understand the present, and shape the future by recognizing, respecting, and transmitting the experiences and contributions of Maryland women and girls of diverse backgrounds and regions.

Did You Know?

To expand our knowledge of the outstanding leaders of Maryland’s past and present, we will honor both historical and contemporary women who have been inducted into the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame, in addition to renowned Maryland women, many of which are “firsts” and “founders,” and the unsung heroines in our families and communities.

Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame 2010

Since 1985, the Maryland Commission for Women and the Women Legislators of Maryland annually honor Maryland women by inducting them into the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame, which will be housed at the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center.
