Details
The National Women's Hall of Fame is open on the 1st floor of the historic Seneca Knitting Mill on the Seneca-Cayuga branch of the Erie Canal in Seneca Falls, New York. Included in the introductory exhibits is a new Hall of Fame display listing Inductees and their areas of accomplishment that visitors can browse. There is a section called "Why Here?" highlighting why all of this history happened in Seneca Falls. The NWHF tells the story of the Seneca Knitting Mill and the women who worked there. It invites visitors to delve into the history of what happens when women innovate or lead with an interactive exhibit that challenges widely-held assumptions. Visitors can "weave" themselves into the story in a participatory exhibit, and visitors are asked for their own stories of women who have inspired them. The exhibits encourage visitors to engage in creating our future and to understand the possibility of a world where women are equal partners in leadership. Listed on the National Register of Historic Properties, the Mill is directly tied to the American women's rights and abolitionist movements, and has extraordinary stories to tell about what was happening in Seneca Falls in 1848. There were women employed at the Mill from the beginning, and the men who ran it signed in support of the Declaration of Sentiments. The National Women's Hall of Fame has been inducting great American women since 1973.
