Historic Doylestown Cemetery Summer Walking Tours presents a new tour called Women In History. Meet many brave, brilliant, talented and creative women. Examples include Gladys Nickleby Nelson, a Central Bucks School District nurse who opened the very first polio immunization clinic in the U.S. in 1955; Juliana Reiser Force, secretly carried tens of thousands of dollars provided by Gertrude Whitney, to France for the purchase of field ambulances during WW1. She was a co-founder and the first director of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City; Lucy Emerson Geil, a grand-niece of Ralph Waldo Emerson, was a writer, scientist and amateur photographer who accompanied her husband, adventurer and public lecturer W. Edgar Geil, on his trips abroad to collect photos and information for his books and lectures. These are just a few examples of the women in history tour.
May 1st through Oct. 31
