Description of the attraction
The National Pioneer Women’s Hall of Fame, founded in 1993, commemorates the women who have made an invaluable contribution to the development of the Australian continent. In this case, a pioneer woman is any woman who has become a pioneer in any field, not only in the traditional sense of the word - a colonist, explorer or settler in new lands, but also simply invented or invented something new. It tells the story of the lives of over 100 women who have done something extraordinary.
The small museum's permanent exhibits include Ordinary Women / Unusual Fates, Women in the Heart (Central Australia), Women's Occupations in the Recent Past, Pilots and others. Themed exhibitions such as Cuisine of Central Australia, Love and Punishment: About Those Who Prepare Food for Prisoners or Honeymoon in the Desert: Bertha Strechlaw's 1936 Peterman Ridge Expedition are regularly held.
The Hall of Fame exhibits are housed in the Alice Springs Old Prison building, which also features the history of the building itself. Thus, tourists have a unique opportunity to visit two important historical sites at one time. By the way, the National Pioneer Women Hall of Fame is one of three museums in Australia dedicated to women. His unique collections of books, photographs, audio and video recordings and other items are constantly replenished, opening new - women - pages in the history of Australia.
