Special History Study: Women's Rights National Historical Park
Weber SS. 1985. Special History Study: Women's Rights National Historical Park. NPS Special History Study. National Park Service. Washington, D.C.
This report was produced at the request of the Denver Service Center Northeast Team to provide basic historical background information on properties associated with Women's Rights National Historical Park. The scope of the study was determined by a series of questions compiled by the General Management Plan team. The buildings under consideration were the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, the Stanton House, and the Bloomer House in Seneca Falls, and the Hunt and McClintock Houses in Waterloo. The purpose of the study was to establish if possible, the historical significance of the people and events associated with these buildings as they relate to the Women's Rights Convention of 1848. Each building is examined in a separate chapter, with a general introductory chapter on the village of Seneca Falls. The study focuses on the people and events associated with the buildings, rather than the structures themselves. Architectural histories and details have been compiled by Barbara Pearson in a separate Architectural Survey.
