Elizabeth Cady Stanton Park


Across Fall Street from the Wesleyan Chapel (pictured in the background) is the entrance to Elizabeth Cady Stanton Park. The Park was dedicated July 19, 1980, the same year in which the Women's Rights National Historical Park was authorized by the Congress.
Stairways from street level take visitors to Peoples' Park and the banks of the Cayuga and Seneca Canal. One of the stairways is beneath the (still standing) Seneca Falls arch, which frames the Seneca Knitting Mills building in an early photograph on the Park's Home Page. The mill, reflected in the picture at left, is still in production, and operates an outlet store in Seneca Falls.
The Bandstand in Peoples' Park is the site of many gatherings and presentations scheduled during the annual Convention Days celebrating the First Women's Rights Convention. Persons interested in attending locally sponsored events are invited to contact the Seneca County Chamber of Commerce at (800) 723-1848.
