Dedicated in 2021, this site hosts a collection of twelve bronze statues depicting individual women who were influential to Estes Park History. Designed by the Estes Park Women's Club, the monuments were erected in 2021 to highlight the influential women that helped make Estes Park what it is today. Showcasing women like Margaret Fuller, Flora Stanley, Wendy Koenig, and many more, the monument is a must-see when visiting Estes Park.

The Estes Park Women's Club was founded in 1912, with the goal of bringing together the women of Estes Park to enhance the town, and the lives of those who live there. The first project completed by the club was the enhancement and construction of numerous trails in the region. By making the trails safer and easier to traverse, the Women's Club greatly enhanced the scenery and vistas available to Estes Park residents and tourists. The club also sought to build a library in town, both to function as their meeting place but also to give access to literature to those living in town. This library would transfer locations numerous times in its history before the Town of Estes Park granted a plot to build a new library in Bond Park in 1922 where it still stands today. The Estes Park Women's Club is still integral to the library and town of Estes Park today. Their work to highlight the history of influential women in the Estes Valley opened the door to further scholarship on the women of the Estes Valley. The Estes Park Women's Club was accepted into the Colorado Federation of Women's Clubs in 1914 and continues to serve the community since then.
