24 June at 8 pm – The Trails of the Common Woman

Valgerður Sigurðardóttir leads a walk through the historical sites of the common woman in Hafnarfjörður. The lives, circumstances and history of women in the town in times past will be examined. The walk will take you through the west town, pausing at places connected to the daily lives and history of the women in the area. Before the walk begins, visitors will have the opportunity to view a new exhibition about the working-class woman in the shed at Siggubær. The walk will start from Siggubær, 10 Kirkjuvogur.

The City of Hafnarfjörður is offering cultural and health walks every Wednesday evening this summer. Most of the walks take about an hour and start at 8 p.m., unless otherwise stated. The Cultural and Health Walks are a joint project by Hafnarborg, the Hafnarfjörður Folk Museum, the Hafnarfjörður Library and Healthy Hafnarfjörður. Participation is free and everyone is welcome.
