Portland's Walk of the Heroines

Experiencing the Walk - The Naming Walls

This series of arched walls curving along the north and south borders of the Walk provide room for approximately 1,350 names of women to be honored. As visitors move along the walls, new experiences unfold: Stone benches along the walls are engraved with literary quotes and recesses in the south walls display art objects commissioned for the Walk.
