Self-guided walking tour brochure promoting nine historic properties related to influential women in Canby, Oregon. This brochure is available in both English and Spanish versions. From brochure: "Women shaped and reshaped the cultural, social, economic, and political fabric of Canby as it evolved from a collection of farms in the 1880s into a thriving community in the 20th century. On occasion, they broke gender norms to instigate change. More often, they embraced traditional roles to improve the circumstances of their community. In most cases, their efforts received limited recognition and/or went unrecorded. The nine women on this trail are representative of the hundreds of women who played a significant role in making Canby a better place." Featured women include: Laura Thompson, Hazel Phillips Vinyard, Bertha Knight Lee, Laura Knight Bair, Myra Adcock Weston, Ida B.Knight, Elsie Egli Cutsforth, Elizabeth White, and Bertha Dedman Funding was provided in part by a 2017 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Canby Heritage and Landmark Commission (project number OR-17-002) administered by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P17AF00025) and the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
