The first Women's Rights Convention was held in a Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls in 1848. An annual convention is still held in July. Three of the organizers lived in the area and houses associated with their residency are part of the park. Elizabeth Stanton's home was a large farmhouse with outbuildings, orchards and gardens, which she inherited from her father. For 20 years May Ann M'Clintock lived in a house that was used as a stopover on the Underground Railroad, the network that helped slaves to escape. The park offers field trips and guided tours for groups.
