Day 1: Seneca Falls, Cruising on Lake Skaneateles

Greetings from Auburn, New York! We had a beautifully sunny first day of traveling, complete with a visit to the National Women's Rights Historical Park, Elizabeth Cady Stanton House, and the McClintock House.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton House -- in her words, "the heart of the rebellion." 


The McClintock House; here we are "in the room where it happened."



We concluded the day with a dinner cruise on beautiful Lake Skaneateles. You'll hear more from the students soon, but we wanted to let you know that we are well underway.








Today, Tuesday, it's a little rainy here as we return to the Women's Rights Historical Park to spend some time in Wesleyan Chapel, where the Convention on the Rights of Woman in 1848 took place, reading the Declaration aloud, and visit the National Women's Hall of Fame. Finally, we'll get on the bus and head east toward Lenox, MA in preparation for further historical and literary explorations.
