About Women’s Rights National Historical Park In 1848 five women organized the First Woman’s Rights Convention and wrote the Declaration of Sentiments, stating that “all men and women are created equal.” Women’s Rights National Historical Park commemorates the convention and preserves the sites associated with the convention and its organizers, including the Wesleyan Chapel, the Stanton House, the M’Clintock House, and the Hunt House. The park’s visitor center offers an orientation film and exhibits. Tours of the houses are offered seasonally.
