48 Hours in Seneca Falls, NY
Mar 15, 2024 by Ethan LaCroix
From July 19–20, 1848, a group of 300 women and 42 men came together in Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls for the first-ever women's rights convention in the U.S. They began laying the groundwork for what would lead to women's suffrage in New York in 1917, three years before the nation followed. It has been over 100 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. The Wesleyan Chapel stands at the corner of Fall and Mynderse streets, anchoring a charming strip in a Finger Lakes town that makes for a perfect weekend getaway.
