Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument

"This site is not currently accessible for people who cannot do >10 stairs. The contract to replace the lift is currently being finalized. Once finalized, NPS should have a time frame of when the work will start. NPS will update our website once complete, and the lift is operational again. The lift inside to get you to the main museum, surpassing 3 stairs, is operational. The single stall restroom has grab bars behind and on the right side but not enough room to position a wheelchair next to it if that's needed to transfer. There is a gift shop and a stamp station for folks with National Park passports but no food or drink on-site. We spent about 1.5 hours here to check out the information in the library and the displays. I learned so much more than expected about the suffrage movement. I'd highly recommend this free museum!"

"Fantastic spot to stop and explore not just local DC history but women’s and civil rights history. The park staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and while a lot of the displays were still waiting for artifacts, they were all well done and informative. An easy walk from the Capitol or the Supreme Court building."

"Enter the abode of the suffragettes and see the works completed and those still left undone awaiting their next champions. This historical locale, once a sniping post during the war of 1812 - for which it was burned by the Brits - was an intelligence center, lobbyist headquarters, and activist learning center all wrapped into one. Hear the stories of yesteryear and the struggles of these brave women, who endured physical and mental abuse to help us to get to where we are today. Great location and some great history - with new exhibits slowly being accumulated by the amazing NPS. Check it out!"

"They offer an in-depth tour and admission for free. While this is a historic home featuring historic figures like Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony, it remains highly relevant today as the women’s rights movement continues. You’re allowed to touch the poles (locates along the staircase) that the suffragettes used to hold up banners while picketing!"

"Most people will pass by this every day on capital hill without noticing its significance. It’s been used as an organizing office for the woman’s suffrage movement since the 1930s. Lovely place to learn more about our history. The staff are superb and the house is interesting. It’s a bit old and the floors are creaky, but it just adds to the experience."
