In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and four other women invited the public to the First Women's Rights Convention to discuss expanding the role of women in America. At the end of the two days, 100 people made a public commitment to work together to improve women’s quality of life. |

Women's Rights National Historical Park was established in 1980, and covers a total of 6.83 acres of land in Seneca Falls and nearby Waterloo, New York. The park is composed of four major historical locations: the Wesleyan Chapel, site of the First Women's Rights Convention, the Elizabeth Cady Stanton House, and the homes of other early women's rights activists (M'Clintock and Richard Hunt Homes). The park includes a Visitor Center and an Education and Cultural Center housing the Suffrage Press Print shop. |
