Elizabeth Cady Stanton House

Elizabeth Cady Stanton's home in Seneca Falls, where she drafted the Declaration of Sentiments before the 1848 convention.

Seneca County

Stanton moved to Seneca Falls in 1847 with her husband Henry Stanton, and it was in this house that she drafted the Declaration of Sentiments, modeling it on Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and preparing it for the convention she helped organize at the Wesleyan Chapel the following year. She lived here with seven children from 1847 to 1862, using the house as her organizing base during the period when the women's rights movement was establishing its foundational arguments. Preserved as part of the Women's Rights National Historical Park, the house includes period furnishings and NPS interpretive exhibits. Open daily May through October; admission included with the park pass.
