Women's History Month: Relive the stories of notable women from Fort Collins history

Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and stories of women's history in Fort Collins.

Archive staff at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery will give a peek into the past with their annual Women's History in Fort Collins presentation later this month — highlighting the stories of notable Fort Collins women through historic images, audio recordings and more in the museum's immersive OtterBox Digital Dome Theater.

Representatives from the Poudre River Public Library District, the League of Women Voters of Larimer County and the Living Her Legacy monument project will also be at the event to share reading lists related to local women's stories.

The museum lobby opens at 6:30 p.m. March 30 for this event, with the presentation sent to take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are free, but pay-what-you-can donations will be accepted. Reserve your ticket online at fcmod.org/event.
