Before you go
Check current access to the chapel, visitor center, and historic homes separately. Sites in Seneca Falls and Waterloo require a plan beyond a single-building visit.
Capture
Use the chapel’s setting or surrounding streets respectfully.
Do not fabricate historical delegates, meeting scenes, or document facsimiles.
Social
