The Sewall-Belmont House & Museum

The Sewall-Belmont House & Museum is a museum located on Capitol Hill that documents the fight for women’s equality. This national landmark was the former residence of Alice Paul, a leader in the women’s rights movement and author of the Equal Rights Amendment. The home is also the headquarters of the National Woman’s Party. Visitors to this site will be impressed with its sophistication. The site provides information on expected museum information such as hours, directions, tours, and upcoming programs. However, a plethora of useful information is available on the site. There are links that provide detailed information to the museums collection. This includes the National Woman’s Party Digital Collection, which is updated continuously. There are also pages dedicated to the Hilles Feminist Library, which according to the site is “the first library in the country entirely dedicated to the study of the history of women in the United States and abroad” located on the museum property. Other highlights of this site include education information for the public, teachers, and students. This is an eye-catching, interactive, informative site!
