Women have shaped Carlton County's history in countless ways, through their work, leadership, creativity, and contributions to their communities. The Women's History Affinity Group at the Carlton County Historical Society brings people together to uncover, share, and preserve the stories of local women, both past and present.

Sharing Women's Stories

The Women's History Affinity Group began in March 2024, when community members gathered to share stories about women who have made an impact on Carlton County. The group continues this work by exploring local women's history and helping ensure these stories are remembered for future generations.


Each year, the group hosts the Women's History Tea Party and essay contest, creating opportunities for the community to celebrate and learn about the women who have shaped our area's history.


Get Involved

Do you have a story about a local woman to share, or an interest in researching women's history? We'd love to hear from you! Whether you have family stories, historical knowledge, or simply a curiosity about the women who helped shape our community, you can help bring these stories to light.


The group meets on the first Wednesday of each month. Contact CCHS to learn more and be added to the group's email updates.


Help preserve the stories of the women who shaped Carlton County.
