➤ Women's Rights National Historical Park, is a collection of sites in and around Seneca Falls, New York that commemorate the early women's rights movement. It's an area of upstate New York that Rep. Louise Slaughter describes as "a hotbed" of social reform. The Wesleyan Chapel was the actual site of the 1848 Convention. It was a Ford repair garage in the 1930's, then a laundromat in the 1970's and early 1980's, until work on the National Park began, largely through the efforts of citizens of the region.
