About the Business
The Elizabeth Cady Stanton Home, located at 32 Washington Street in Seneca Falls, New York, is a historic institution that was once the residence of the renowned women's rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Known as "Grassmere" and the "Center of the Rebellion," this house was where Stanton lived with her family and carried out her important work for women's rights. The property, which included a large farm house, outbuildings, orchards, and gardens, was deeded to Stanton by her father in 1847. Over the years, the Stanton family grew in size as more children were welcomed into their home. In 1862, Stanton sold the property and moved to New York City with her family. Visitors can explore the house and learn about Stanton's life, family, and dedication to the fight for women's rights.

"The tour they offer is excellent, and it’s free! You learn so much more by engaging with the park ranger in conversation than you will ever learn by just reading the plaques. Only 4 stars because the house is empty. But they have hopes of continuing to restore the grounds which would be fantastic."
"Really interesting tour given by the USPark Ranger. We also "went into town" to see the associated exhibits and destinations. Plan for about 4-5 hours for it all. This park might be better for older kids and of course adults."
"Very cool to see it in person! The scenery is beautiful… You should check out the park and view of the lake near the house! My husband and I visited at sunset and sat at a picnic table while still having a view of the Stanton house. If you like history and you’re visiting the area, this is a fun experience."
"We visited on 7/16/22. The house was open for visitors. However, it is not a historic house museum (like Susan B. Anthony's home in Rochester). The house was completely empty but well maintained. There were two rangers available for questions and prominent signage around with information about the house and it's famous owner. I believe there are pre-scheduled historical interpretation events daily. All in all, a pretty neat site to visit but I would suggest making it a stop as part of a larger trip rather than a standalone visit."
"It was great to see the place where Elizabeth Cady Stanton composed many of the arguments in favor of women's suffrage. The ranger talk is useful if a tad disjointed. Unfortunately, the house is closed due to covid. Check the national park service website for details."
