Presented by
National Parks of Boston
Over 8,000 women lent a hand in the national war effort here at the Charlestown Navy Yard during World War II. Discover their role, accomplishments and the personal memories of being a SWON.
This program is a part of the National Parks of Boston's "Saturdays in the Park" series, special topic programs on Saturday afternoons, January 11 through April 25, 2020. A variety of programs have been selected with our neighbors in greater Boston in mind. It’s something different for the local crowd during the “off-season”.
All programs are free and open to the public. All programs take place in the Charlestown Navy Yard Visitor Center.
