Women's Rights National Historical Park
Museum
Open Details
Drive east for your last stop in the Finger Lakes region, the Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls. In 1848, the first women's rights convention was held here, leaving a legacy for years to come.
This spot serves as an essential historical and informational centre for understanding the struggle for women's rights in America, and gives you the chance to stand in the spot where the fight began.
Start at the visitor centre, where you can gain a general understanding of the convention and the fight throughout history, with two floors of educational curation.
Stop into the Wesleyan Church, the location of the First Women’s Rights Convention, where many historians claim the formal beginning of the Women’s Rights Movement in the United States took place.
You can also visit the house of the original organiser, and the home where the convention was planned. It's in these very spots that American history changed forever for women today.
Opening Hours: Monday – Sunday: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Green Lakes State Park
Landmark
Open Details
A hidden gem in Upstate New York, the Green Lakes State Park is absolutely striking. The park features two green, glacial lakes surrounded by thick forests.
Both lakes are meromictic lakes, which means that there is no mixing of the water layers – this feature is very rare and makes these lakes some of the most studied in the world. You’ll take an hour-long walk-hike around both lakes which will bring you to these Caribbean-like views.
View the hike map on AllTrails. Note that the park is open year-round from dawn to dusk.
