Marking the very spot in Seneca Falls, New York, where the country’s first Women's Rights Convention was held in July of 1848, the Women’s Rights National Historical Park protects a pivotal moment in American history. The historical park protects the Wesleyan Church (the site of that 300-person meeting) and three suffragette’s homes: the Stantons, the M’Clintocks, and the Hunts. Outdoor ranger talks are given every day, and the visitor center doubles as a 2-story museum.

Harriet Tubman escaped enslavement—twice. In 1859, Auburn, New York, was a hub for antislavery sentiments, and Tubman bought a house there after years of working and living across the US and Ontario. Designated a national historic park in 2017, her home and grounds are open for tours (appointments are necessary during winter). You can also drive the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park, which traces Tubman’s escape route to Delaware.

If there’s one suffragette we’ve all heard of, it’s Susan B. Anthony. Arrested for voting in 1872, hers was a lifelong battle for voting rights for women and equal rights for all. She petitioned across the country for years, founding societies like the National American Women’s Suffrage Association. Her home still stands in Rochester, New York—in fact, she was arrested in the front parlor. You’re welcome to explore the parlor, peruse her artifacts, and take in the exhibits at the on-site museum.

Recent surges of queerphobia makes spots such as the Stonewall Inn—the site of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, which marked a watershed moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights—that much more paramount. (If you’ve ever wondered why June is Pride Month, it’s in honor of Stonewall). Today, the Stonewall Inn, both a national monument and a gay bar in Greenwich Village, still slings drinks, while visitors in search of this history can also scope out Stonewall National Monument, across the street.

Unless you count nude statues and paintings, women are underrepresented across the world’s art museums. The National Museum Of Women In The Arts, the world’s only museum solely dedicated to the creative works of women, vows to change that. At this downtown DC gem, there’s no lack of masterpieces, either—expect nearly 5,000 works from more than 1,000 artists ranging from the 1500s until the present day.

The Salem Witch Trials were very real, and they happened right in Salem, Massachusetts, where 200 people were accused of witchcraft, 30 were found guilty, and 19 were hanged in 1692. Today, you can stroll the city’s streets, making sure to stop at the famous Salem Witch Museum and the Salem Witch Trials Memorial. Consider taking a tour of Salem, too, to take in all the main attractions, plus incredible tales, wild facts, and spooky ghost stories that go along with them.

This Fort Worth spot honors the legends of wild women across the American West, from Annie Oakley and Georgia O’Keeffe to Laura Ingalls Wilder and Sacajawea. The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame is chock-full of interactive exhibits, photographs, real-life artifacts, and more. Just a few moments here prove that women have been grand, bold, daring, and impactful for centuries on end.

You likely know the story: Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus to a white man. She was subsequently arrested, and the nation stirred. Located at the very site where the activist was arrested, the Rosa Parks Library and Museum showcases artifacts circling Park’s life, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and the Civil Rights Movement. Visitors will even get to see a 1955 Montgomery city bus and hear the voices of real-life protestors.

You know her as the bandana-swathed gal rolling up her sleeves and exclaiming, “We can do it!” That’s Rosie the Riveter, the (accidental) star of a WWII campaign. Today, you can visit the Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park on your next trip to California. The main attractions are the Visitor Education Center & Ford Assembly Plant; the Rosie the Riveter Memorial; and the Kaiser Shipyards (and Red Oak Victory Ship), where thousands worked during the war.

The only official royal residence in the US, Iolani Palace was once home to Queen Liliuokalani, the closest thing to Queen Elizabeth the US has ever had. She would reign as Hawaii’s last monarch. Today, Honolulu visitors can take guided tours of the grand edifice, strolling through the Grand Hall, the Throne Room, the King and Queen’s suites, and even the Imprisonment Room. As you wander the grounds, know that this spot is thought to have been the site of an ancient heiau, or temple, too.
