March is Women’s History Month, and with the theme “Moving Forward Together,” highlighting and supporting women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership, there’s no better reason to celebrate women and recognize their contributions to our society with family or friends. Enjoy self guided tours, story time, women’s history coloring pages, and more at Family Saturday: The ABC’s of Women’s History in Mt. Laurel, learn about some of the best women arts at Newark Museum of Art Women’s History Month Celebration, or head to city hall to celebrate the beginning of Women’s History Month with a flag raising in Woodbridge Township. And for more events to do in March, we have a bunch of ideas that won’t cost a dime. (featured photo credit: istock/South_agency)
