Seneca Falls, New York is in the Cradle of the Women's Rights Movement in the U.S.
Plan to visit Seneca Falls, New York this year. It's a destination and a pilgrimage for many, especially with the upcoming New York State 2017 suffrage centennial observance, as well as the 2020 celebration of votes for women in the United States.
The Finger Lakes region of upstate New York is considered the Cradle of the women's rights movement in the United States. And so a visit to Seneca Falls can include many other sites, including the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation in Fayetteville, NY and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House in Rochester, NY.
Suffrage Wagon Cafe highlights programming about women's suffrage history. It's a special feature of Suffrage Wagon News Channel that has been publishing since 2009. Marguerite Kearns is host of Suffrage Wagon Cafe. Celebrate women's freedom to vote. Follow the Suffrage Wagon with Facebook, Twitter, email and the quarterly newsletter.
