Carolyn Wahto
Historic New England
Carolyn Wahto joined the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail board in 2005. She is a Regional Site Manager for Historic New England, the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive regional preservation organization in the country (www.HistoricNewEngland.org). Her interest in women’s history led to the creation of the tour, Ladies of the House, that traces roles and social expectations of the women who inhabited the Otis House between 1796 and 1868. She has played an active role in promoting the inclusion of women’s stories in the interpretation of historic places. Previous to her work in museums, Carolyn enjoyed teaching in a variety of educational settings including both elementary schools and high schools, as well as out-of-school programs.
