The Genoa Historical Association and Museum invites you to listen to Judy Hart speak on A National Park for Women's Rights: The Campaign That Made it Happen. This will be Zoom presentation on Saturday, March 29, 2025 from 1 - 2:30pm.


In 1978 the author proposed the development of The Women's Rights National Historical Park. The park's centerpiece is the Wesleyan Chapel that was the site of the 1848 women's rights conference that first called for the right for women to vote. However, in 1980 the Chapel was a deteriorating laundromat! This is her story of bringing that dream to fruition - challenging rules, flouting policies, and tenaciously leading the campaign to create a park that now holds and tells that story of being a woman during that era that took place almost in our back yard.
