ROADS FROM SENECA FALLS
WEBSITE FOR WOMEN’S HISTORY

Educational materials are abundantly available on the web. But for  
teachers and students, finding accurate information for specific  
projects and grade levels can be a daunting task.

A new web-based project, Roads from Seneca Falls  
(www.roadsfromsenecafalls.net) makes some of the best material on  
U.S. women’s history and leadership easily available to K-12  
students and teachers. Linking lesson plans, activities, primary  
sources, brief biographies, bibliographies, and more than 800  
women’s history historic sites, museums, and libraries, Roads from  
Seneca Falls catalogs websites across the country by subject, author,  
grade level, and type of material.

A special feature is “Ask Mrs. Stanton,” where students and  
teachers can ask specific questions and receive a personal reply.

With a national Advisory Board drawn from historians and educators  
across the country, Roads from Seneca Falls is designed to open a  
wide variety of topics for Women’s History Month and also to make it  
easy to integrate women’s history into the curriculum all year around.

Roads from Seneca Falls is a pilot project funded by the Department  
of Education and produced by the State University of New York and  
Syracuse University.
