Our final NPS stop, as we travelled westward across New York, was in Seneca Falls. This is a nicely done site, with a good movie, a nice (if brief) tour, and a nice set of displays. But... almost no Harriet Tubman. The museum currently focuses on the formation of the movement, and does a nice job with that, but doesn't carry the story through. Apparently they are working on this, but for now it was a disappointment - having learned about Tubman's involvement in the suffragette movement, I wanted to hear more - not a void. (Not even a showing of Suffring Without Suffrage, the old Schoolhouse Rock video.)
It's still a worthwhile stop, but hopefully it will improve enough to warrant another visit soon.
