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.
