The Women’s Rights National Historic Park is made up of several buildings in the Seneca Falls/Waterloo area. This historic park pays homage to the long and tedious fight for equal rights, not just for women but for all American citizens. The location of this park is intentional, as the First Women’s Rights Convention was held here in 1848. There is no charge to visit this park.
