Women's History Tour

A Story to Tell: Women in Community of Christ History
October 2 - 12, 2023
Join us on an 11-day tour as we explore the stories behind the remarkable women in Community of Christ history. Experience the past through the eyes of those who once lived in Kirtland, Nauvoo, Plano, and Lamoni. This exciting tour will also include the diverse stories of women throughout United States history as we trace the historic steps of Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and more. Hear about the impact these women had on the past, and discover the mark they left on future generations, including your own. 

Highlights of the Women's History Tour

Tour guests will experience each of the Community of Christ historic sites through the lens of the women who helped create the historic communities of Kirtland, Nauvoo, Plano, and Lamoni. While visiting Emma Hale Smith's birthplace in Harmony, PA, we will hear about how her childhood experiences impacted the type of leader she was to become in the early church. 
 
The October tour will also explore the stories of women throughout U.S. history and the significant contributions made along the way. In celebration of the 103rd anniversary of women's right to vote, we will visit a number of historic sites related to the road to equality for women in the United States. Significant sites include the Wesleyan Chapel and Women's Rights National Historic Park, Susan B. Anthony home, and the Harriet Tubman home. The tour will also explore the lives of female religious leaders such as Ellen G. White of the Seventh Day Adventist denomination and Ann Lee of the Shakers. The stories behind these remarkable women will be explored in detail as we visit the historic Seventh Day Adventist Village in Battle Creek, Michigan, and Hancock Shaker Village in Amherst, Massachusetts. 

In addition to the rich heritage explored throughout the 11-day journey, tour guests will experience breathtaking autumn views, delicious foods, and delightful fellowship as they make their way across eight states from Missouri to Massachusetts.
