March is National Women’s History Month and it’s the perfect time to take a few moments to think about the many women who have done amazing things in the Finger Lakes and Cayuga County.
Not only is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the forefront of our society today, this month we also celebrate the birth of a great American hero and iconic leader in the realm of freedom and equity for all-Harriet Tubman.
Whether it’s history, wine, food or amazing and fun events, there are plenty of things to do and see to inspire your celebration of Women and Women’s History Month in Cayuga County.
