The “Travel Where Women Made History” website is produced by the National Park Service’s Cultural Resources Office of Interpretation and Education in concert with the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers.
The website was designed by Katherine Crawford-Lackey, a PhD candidate at Middle Tennessee State University. Descriptions of historic places featured in this website are based on information in the files of the National Register of Historic Places and the National Historic Landmarks Program, on National Park Service studies, and additional historic resources.

This travel site replaces “Places Where Women Made History: Featuring Massachusetts and New York,” a travel itinerary launched in 1998. The original credits are as follows:

The Massachusetts Historical Commission, and the New York Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation also provided support in the creation of the original website content. Much of this work was created under the direction of Carol D. Shull, Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, National Park Service, Beth L. Savage, Publications Director, and overseen by Patrick Andrus, Heritage Tourism Director. A number of the property descriptions were written by Alexis Abernathy, Nathan Poe, and Sarah Pope of the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO), National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE) interns Karen Van Gilder and Frederick MacVaugh, James Jenks, Volunteer in the Parks, and Robert Sandoval, George Mason University Masters Intern. Property information was provided by the Massachusetts and New York State Historic Preservation Offices. The guide was designed by Nathan Poe and Mark Oviatt also of NCSHPO; with the assistance of Karen Van Gilder (NCPE). Thank you to all of the individuals, organizations and institutions who provided invaluable information, photographs, and time. Finally, special thanks to Laura Feller, National Park Service; Mary Ruthsdotter, National Women's History Project; Phillip Bergen, Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Office; Sarah Burks, Cambridge Historical Society; Dick Cook, and Maggie Torres-Wilking, National Park Service; for your enthusiasm, advice, and willingness to go the extra mile.
