The Seneca Falls Historical Society has existed as an organization since 1896 and has called the Becker Mansion home since 1961. The Becker Mansion – named for the Becker family who lived here for 70 years from 1891 to 1961 – is a Queen Anne style, Victorian period, three-floor mansion. A tour of the mansion takes visitors through 18 rooms of the home, showcasing how the Becker family lived here during the 1890s to the turn of the century and highlighting the wonderful and amazing history of the Seneca Falls community. Seneca Falls is known as the birthplace of the women’s rights movement as the site of the first women’s rights convention and as a center of industry with numerous factories along the Seneca River that bisects the town. SFHS and the Becker Mansion feature all of that and more as you walk through the home and take a step back in time.
