Women's Rights National Historical Park
Equality Weekend
<p><em><span data-contrast="auto">Join Women’s Rights NHP for a special theme weekend exploring the concept of equality and its enduring relevance to the historic sites and stories preserved by the park. When the Declaration of Sentiments boldly proclaimed that “all men and women are created equal” and called for equal rights including the vote, this revolutionary moment in Seneca Falls launched a national movement for women’s rights. </span></em><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><em>T</em><em>hroughout the weekend, visitors can participate in engaging ranger programs, family activities, a special performance by the Terra String Quartet in the Wesleyan Chapel, and open hours at the M’Clintock House in nearby Waterloo. Explore the meaning of equality in the context of the 1848 Women’s Rights Convention, and how its ideas continue to shape conversations about justice, opportunity, and civil rights today. All programs are free and open to the public. </em></span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p>
