National Women's Hall of Fame

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Women's Hall of Fame was created in 1969 by a group of people in Seneca Falls, New York, the location of the first American women's rights convention, now known to historians as the 1848 Women's Rights Convention. The Hall honors women in the United States who have contributed greatly to society.

In 1979, the Hall purchased an historic bank building in the Seneca Falls Historic District and renovated it to house the Hall's permanent exhibit, historical artifacts, and offices.
