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

Sometimes you forget that it wasn't that long ago that women's rights were very limited. This museum tells the story of how a few women changed our country. Museum was good, some of the exhibits are in need of updating. Saw a few too many out of order signs. The movie also could use updating. Plan to spend about an... More

The main feature is a building where the first women's rights convention was held in the mid 1800s. Most of the building has been rebuilt, and there are no furnishings. There is a good video in the adjacent visitors' center.

I drove 3 hours with my group of friends, from Canada, to go to Seneca Falls, specifically to see the sites of the first women's rights convention in the United States. Elizabeth Cady Stanton's house was our first stop. As other's have mentioned, the furnishings, and artefacts, within the house are sparse, aside from several couches and a piano. Apparently,... More

My granddaughter and I visited the Women's Rights Memorial as an outing during a recent stay in the Finger Lakes area. Other reviewers note the lack of artefacts. I agree, but the rangers certainly tell the story in a way that communicates with a 12 year old. She was completely absorbed and talked about it for the rest of the... More
