Why go there?

The Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, New York, tells the story of the early women's rights movement and the First Women's Rights Convention, which took place in Seneca Falls in 1848. The park includes the Wesleyan Chapel, where the convention was held, as well as the homes of some of the key figures involved in the movement, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Visitors to the park can learn about the history of the women's rights movement and see some of the documents that were used to spark change. The park is a reminder of how far women have come and how much work still needs to be done in order to achieve true equality.
