In Waterloo, New York, stands the M'Clintock House which was built in 1836 by Richard Hunt, whose family was the first to arrive.

 

The first planning meeting for the Women's Rights Convention was held here on July 16, 1848.  At this session, Mary Ann M’Clintock, Elizabeth Cady-Stanton, and others drafted a document that was called the "Declaration of Sentiments." This was signed by 100 men and women.

 

In Seneca Falls, New York, the birthplace of women’s rights is the "Bloomer Statue." Created in 1998 by Ted Aub, it portrays Amelia Bloomer (center), dress reformer, introducing female activists Cady-Stanton (right) and Susan B. Anthony (left) on May 12, 1851.

 

Anthony and Cady-Stanton played a major role in the Women's Suffrage movement.  The meeting of these women was also essential in helping pass the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, that granted women the right to vote.
