Elizabeth Cady Stanton House at Women’s Rights National Historical Park
PARK OVERVIEW
Women’s Rights National Historical Park is located in Seneca Falls and Waterloo, New York. The park tells the story of the First Women’s Rights Convention held on July 19 and 20, 1848, and the influential people who made it happen.
The park’s Visitor Center, the Wesleyan Chapel (where the convention took place), and the Elizabeth Cady Stanton House are all in Seneca Falls. The homes of Mary Ann and Thomas M’Clintock and Jane and Richard Hunt are located in Waterloo, less than five miles to the west of Seneca Falls. Both homes played a significant part in the inspiration and planning of the convention.
