Our Fair Ladies

Embark on a captivating journey through the history buried in Karori Cemetery with our tour showcasing the remarkable lives of Wellington's women.

Join us as we delve into inspiring stories from businesswomen, radio personalities, stewardesses, a dentist and more. This tour offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the resilience, creativity and empowerment of women at a time when a woman couldn't have a bank account in her own name.

Be inspired by the incredible impact of these women's lives in early Wellington.
