The Women’s Rights National Historical Park is located in the state of New York and is of significant importance to the history of women's rights in the United States. The park includes four historical sites in the neighboring towns of Seneca Falls and Waterloo. These sites played a crucial role in the women's rights movement and offer a unique insight into this important period of American history.
Historical Significance of the Park
Established on December 8, 1980, the Women’s Rights National Historical Park covers an area of 27,600 square meters. It includes the site of the first US women's rights assembly, known as the Seneca Falls Convention, which took place in 1848. Additionally, the park houses three residences of early women's rights activists, providing a glimpse into their lives and struggles.
Visitor Center and Artwork
Adjacent to the Wesleyan Chapel, a multi-story visitor center has been built, which serves as an educational and cultural center. This center houses the Suffrage Press Printshop. In the lobby of the visitor center, visitors can see the bronze statues of the five organizers of the Seneca Falls Convention and some of their male supporters. These statues are a work of art by the sculptor Lloyd Lillie and are titled 'First Wave'.
