Hear the story of Elizabeth Stanton and Lucretia Mott told inside the building where the first Woman's convention was held in 1848, then visit Elizabeth Stanton's house for another historical tour. Call for the tour schedules

Very good exhibits given the limited subject matter. The ranger at the front desk could have been a bit more friendly. Really nice gift shop.

We only had time for the visitors center. We were on foot so we couldn't get to all the buildings. If you are in the area don't miss this important history of Women's Suffrage. Free and part of the National Park system. The sculpture in the lobby is quite impressive and don't miss the water fountain with the words of... More

This museum is a jewel in Seneca Falls. The site covers the beginning of the women's rights movement and how it developed over time in the United States. The parts of the site that I saw were the Wesleyan Chapel and the main visitor's center. There are other parts of the site that we did not visit. The Chapel has... More

This park, although small in comparison to some other NPS sites, is informative and provides a compehrensive overview of the women's movement. The site itself, which includes offsite historical houses, focuses on the sufragette movement although the exhibits include information up to the present day. I suggest watching the documentaries "One Woman, One Vote" and "Not For Ourselves Alone" before... More

We visited right after there had been a storm and some of the buildings were closed due to damage from fallen tree branches, but we did get to visit the museum and see some of the sites. The museum is interesting and has a variety of different exhibits, which demonstrate some of the important contributions of women and the history... More

There is so much history here to see, I spent the day here last summer. I just love this little town. Check out the boat ride that you can go on too... Had a great time by myself. Make sure you vote.

The information was great but the presentation was overstimulating since it was basically thrown at you without a clear organization so you don't know where to start and you're left feeling like you missed out on a lot.

A great place for History! Glad for all the women in our country that they have such a place to commemorate the beginnings of Womens Rights! It is small but perfect for it's location in downtown Seneca Falls. You can have a nice meal there in the Village. Check out the many shops and the Art Gallery too.

At some point in her life, every American woman should visit this National Park. It isn't flashy, but the information is presented well and the National Park Rangers are extremely helpful. The exhibits are located primarily on the second floor of the visitors center, with a short film presented in the theatre on the main floor. Plan to spend 60-90... More
