LexSeeHer proudly presents our Digital Quilt Project to honor the collaborative spirit and strength of Lexington women across time. 

We thank those who participated in our five month open nomination period for bringing extraordinary women to our attention.

As political leaders, athletes, educators, activists, architects, and more, spectacular women have improved our community and country. 

​

Thank you to the many "Heroine" donors who accepted our invitation to select a special woman they wished to nominate as an honoree in our Founders Quilt.* 

​

LexSeeHer selected seven exceptional nominees (including historical and contemporary figures) to honor in our first visibility project:
Anne Grady, Ann Solomon Burdoo, Celeste Freeman, Elizabeth "Bettie" Hewitt Clarke, Ellen Dana, Janet Haas and Sarah Pillsbury Harkness. In addition, we selected members of the Wellington family to honor in a shared square that represents the way generations of women in one family passed along a commitment to work for community and social justice, from abolition to woman suffrage.  Each honoree is inspirational and has made significant contributions to Lexington.
