Women of the Hall is an institution and a museum that showcases and highlights notable American women and their achievements. It’s the oldest membership organization in the US, recognizing and celebrating women’s impact in all aspects of life, like – arts, education, humanities, science, business, athletics, government, and more. The National Women’s Hall of Fame is located in the Historic District of Seneca Falls, New York, where, in 1848, 300 men and women held the first Women’s Rights Convention, and the US suffrage movement started in its journey to fight for the legal voting rights for women.
The National Women’s Hall of Fame was founded in 1969 by the residents of Seneca Falls, who believed that their hometown, the birthplace of women’s rights, is the appropriate place to establish an institute that commemorates the contributions of American women.
At the site, one can discover the stories of more than 300 women who changed US history through their actions. Learn about their life, their goals, triumphs, and failures. By reading the plaques covering the hall’s walls, you can find out how women like Susan B. Anthony, Maya Angelou, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg changed society.
Check the calendar for special events, exhibits, educational programs, and induction weekends. Explore the gift shop for books, artworks, and souvenirs such as shirts, pins, and bookmarks.
