Giving and Membership

In 2023, the National Women’s Hall of Fame announced new membership opportunities to recognize donors who make meaningful contributions in support of the Hall’s mission.  

All 1848 Society members will receive a membership card, free admission to the museum, early access to registration for Hall events, and our e-newsletter. To learn more about additional benefits and membership levels, continue reading below!  

Why 1848?

The 1848 Society pays homage to the legacy of great 19th century Suffragists who propelled the American fight for gender equality. One hundred and seventy-five years ago, in July 1848, hundreds of women and men congregated in Seneca Falls, NY for what is widely recognized to be the first women’s rights convention. Today, you’ll find the stories of many Suffragists among the 300+ stories who will forever have a home at the National Women’s Hall of Fame. Like those who made the pilgrimage to the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, your contribution stands to support a more inclusive, equitable future for all.
