Inside the Wesleyan Chapel

Wesleyan Chapel, Women's Rights National Historical Park, Seneca Falls, New York.
December 4, 2011.

This past December, I traveled up to the Great White North. Although it's a little out of the way from where I'm at now, I still stopped in Seneca Falls at Women's Rights National Historical Park. It was unseasonably warm for December, and had been... yes, that's green, green grass in Upstate New York in December. I was fortunate this time to get a tour (finally!) of the inside of the Wesleyan Chapel. It looks good; it makes much more sense to be standing inside a building than in the ruins that were there formerly, and for what it's worth, the building seems to be settling into its new self. There's a little signage inside explaining the Chapel's history, but mostly it is empty space. I'm interested to see what the programming inside the Chapel will be.
