Women of Wilton, WOW!


  • Hillside Cemetery 165 Ridgefield Road Wilton, CT, 06897 United States (map)

Self-guided Walking Tour

What do they have in common? A vaudeville, film and Broadway actress; an abolitionist; a suffragist; a 37-year president of Mt. Holyoke; Wilton’s first female elected official; a beloved educator; a community activist; and an internationally known  journalist – each was interesting and inspirational – and lived in Wilton! These eight special women, whose lives span 1793 – 2003, are being recognized as we celebrate Women’s History Month.  Please use this brochure and map for a self-guided walking tour of their final resting places at Hillside.
