Women's Rights National Historical Park reviews
36Everyone needs to visit, esp.the "third wave feminists" in order to understand the history and beginning. We'll laid out museum and extremely informative. Highly recommend!
Too much dilution by other rights
. Indians, gays/lesbians, etc. Black rights were acceptable and since the two were associated for a time.
This was a awesome experience and museum. I wish they would update it as much of the stats and exhibits are obviously from the 90s and so loose some impact by being dated. However the "tour" of the statues is so moving and many of the exhibits are very powerful
Everything about history of when struggle for equality. Part of the National Park system. Free admission.
The Women's Rights National Historic Park is important for the location's role in the women's movement and women's suffrage. It's exciting to be in the same place where historic figures advocated for women's rights. The visitor's center itself is small and the exhibits feel a little dated, though. There is a small gift shop on the premises. It's worth a visit, but I wouldn't travel a great distance just to come here.
Very well done. The exhibits are great, the film is. Little stuck in the 80s, but that's history too now. Nice merchandise in the vendor area (I wish more of the tshirts came in men's cut).
The docents were VERY informative and kind and made you want to stay the whole day
This place is really interesting. It's fairly small and outdated, but the information is still relevant and interesting. The ranger had lots of things to share about the history of the area.
Loved being there. The staff was very Helpful. I had thoughts of the generations of those courageous women in my family who really made a difference in the world.
We found this little gem from our passport book and loved this. It might have been the ranger when we first got there and all his knowledge but it was so awesome! The kids loved the junior ranger program and it was so great to stand at the pulpit (hopefully the one) where this all started and to stand in the church. Such a great NHP! It’s free too!
The small site betrays the importance of the events here. But the building restoration and the church pews of the period give a real sense of being in the same place as the suffragists. Some work to restore the site further would help make this even more impressive.
Pretty great exhibits, no ac. Spent a solid 45 minutes there. It was free. Nice landscape and fountain outside. Really awesome to find a quilt with Frederick Law Olmsted on it.
Nice museum. I recommend to watch the short movie that they play (they have several times during the day) entrance is free (donation is you want)
One of the best np spouse and I have been to. As always good interpretive video and exhibits, some of which are interactive, making us think and started a good discussion with ranger and each other.
Old video, but a good start documenting the women's movement. The museum is very small and could definitely add more exhibits. On the other hand, it is interactive.
Very impressed. We watched the movie and enjoyed the exhibits. Interesting and informative. Free admission and parking.
Incredibly educational. This site gives excellent context for the movement for women's rights. Obviously there is a focus on the time period surrounding the Seneca Falls convention, but I was impressed with how intersectional the exhibits were, covering the relationship to other protest movements and not shying away from the sometimes racist and classist attitudes of some of the movement's heros. We were just passing through the area, and it was an hour well spent.
