This museum house near the U.S. Capitol reminds us of the savvy organizing and courageous demonstrations waged by suffragettes to achieve voting rights for women. The slogans on the banners displayed throughout the house hold true today.

This national monument, formerly known as the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, was once the home of suffragist Alice Paul and headquarters for the National Woman's Party.
State(s): District of Columbia
