The National Womens Hall of Fame is expanding in every way in size, reach and influence and looking for new ways to tell the inspiring stories of Americas great women. We hope our visitors will come away with questions, conversations, inspiration, and ideas.
The Hall of Fames new location in the rehabilitated 1844 Seneca Knitting Mill building in Seneca Falls is part of the local assembly of attractions and institutions, as well as keystone in a national network of 21st-century facilities highlighting the rights, roles, accomplishments, contributions, and value of American women.
Our introductory exhibits are on the first floor of our building. There is a new Hall of Fame display listing our 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. We tell the story of the Seneca Knitting Mill and the women who worked there. We invite 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 we ask visitors 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.
We could not have achieved all of this without the support of our wonderful supporters. Help us to finish the next three floors, expand our exhibits, and hire an Executive Director.
