Marti Staprans Barlow, owner of HospitalityVision and creator of the Albany Explorer App, led a walking tour during the Oregon Main Street Conference. Along the way, we visited locations featured in the app’s “Pioneering Women” tour.  
  
We heard stories from inspiring local leaders including Wendy Kirbey, founder of the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum, Sharon Konopa, Albany’s first female mayor, and Ramycia McGee, Albany’s first Black city councilor.  
  
You can take the tour too! Download the free Albany Explorer App or look for QR codes around downtown to hear more stories of Albany’s pioneering women, past and present.
