Sewall Belmont House & Musesum Review

This was a must-visit for me on my excursion into the capitol. As much ground as we still must make up to truly have equality, we would be nowhere near the progress made to date without the women represented here. It was humbling to walk through the halls and read of the dedication, sweat, blood, and tears that went into the changes they championed.

I hope that everyone visiting D.C. takes the time to visit this monument, and takes away some of the inspiration I did.

Found this NPS site by mistake on my lunch break. Great alternative way to spend 30 minutes outside the office and learn some local history.

Fun small new addition to the national Parks service. It really is great to have a monument to the ingenuity, endurance, and sacrifice these women made in the suffrage movement

Go as fast as you can to the best of the NPS treasures! Excellent rangers, and you will get to touch the desks used by the women of the NWP, along with the banner poles used by the Silent Sentinels.

Very very interesting! Wish I was able to stay longer to listen to more stories and history lessons!

This was a small museum about women's suffrage where they continue to catalog the ongoing women's rights movement. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The home is beautiful.

Small little place but great gift shop. Celebrates women!

A real lesson in US Women's history right here on Capitol Hill.

Great exhibits about little known moments in the struggle for the right to vote. Really should be greater exposure for these hero's of democracy.

Rich with historical artifacts and information of the American Women Movement for equality. A small museum but enormous for knowledge.

This is a very nice place for DC visitors to escape the crowds while still finding a very imortant, meaningful, and compelling experience. Friendly people and a comfortable environment, also free

Amazing museum and monument to the National Women's Party and the whole gender equality movement.

A must stop. Right near the Supreme Court building.

Loved the conversation from staff and gift shop! So proud of our Suffragette history!
We Do Stand On Their Shoulders!
Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History!
Glad no government shut down so museums are available to AMERICA
This is a fake State of Emergency. Trump is no president, I day this in President's Day. Our forefathers are disgusted at the GOP. Wake Up! Stand Up For America you lazy GOP SENATORS!

The Belmont-Paul Women s National Equality museum (formerly known as the Sewell-Belmont House and Museum) is a true hidden treasure on Capitol Hill. This beautiful and historic mansion, which is owned and operated by the National Park Service, is home to the National Woman s Party and it is certainly a must see for tourists visiting the Washington, DC area.

Very informative guided tour on a period of remarkable history.

Beautiful house showing all kinds of women's suffrage memorabilia. They offer tours as well which are informative and interesting.

Really enthusiastic and passionate tour guide. Learned so much!

The tour given by the National Park Service Woman Guide was informative and engaging. Such a rich history of brave women fighting for the right to vote and have equal rights. A beautiful historical house in the heart of DC which is a gem as well filled with history and a fabulous tiny gift store. A must see!

They offer an in-depth tour and admission for free. While this is a historic home featuring historic figures like Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony, it remains highly relevant today as the women s rights movement continues.

You re allowed to touch the poles (locates along the staircase) that the suffragettes used to hold up banners while picketing!

I interned here and was abused racially. "Equality" for white women only should be the tag line

This is an interesting national monument. It's basically a house where a political party performed it's organizing duties. But that party happened to be responsible for pushing thru legislation to get women the right to vote. Take the tour to get the good stories. I really felt the gritty power of the woman who went to jail to get us our vote. I don't like gift shops but recommend this one because it sells soap and tea, the same things the suffragettes sold to support their cause. It also sells jail door necklaces. They are great gifts for women and you can have a conversation about when and how women got the vote.

Let me preface by saying that I NEVER review anything. However, I had such a wonderful experience that I just had to share it. Our tour guide, Mannie was incredible. He was extremely engaging and was clearly passionate about the subject. The exhibits and quotes are brilliant as well, but definitely take a tour with Mannie, it will be well worth your time!

Very knowledgeable Park staff, personalized attention.

Most people will pass by this every day on capital hill without noticing its significance. It s been used as an organizing office for the woman s suffrage movement since the 1930s. Lovely place to learn more about our history. The staff are superb and the house is interesting. It s a bit old and the floors are creaky, but it just adds to the experience.

Many thanks to my visiting friend who wanted to tour the house and got me exploring my area like a tourist. The Belmont-Paul house's history and the history of the women who housed their movement there were inspiring! Votes for women! Pass the Equal Rights Amendment!

Awesome Tour Guide. Zach was simply amazing on the history and every peculiar fact. Personal tour is a must!!

Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument is a small museum on Capitol Hill very close to the US Capitol Building. It's run by the National Park Services so expect the staff to be very friendly.

It's a free museum that starts with a short video about the history of women's suffrage in the US. Then you can wander the two floors of the mansion learning about the movement and the women behind it.

A few notes of interest:

1) They use social media well and have several interactive exhibits.

2) There's a museums store with some great items about women's history.

3) There's a back patio/lawn with benches to reflect on what you witnessed.

If you have daughters, I recommend taking them here to learn our important history.

Great historical site! People should definitely go here more often, because there is a lot that we are able to learn or add on to our learning experience when we visit this place.

Awesome national historical site dedicated to the Womens National Party (and still their headquarters) and the suffragettes.

Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument is an oft overlooked but a wonderful piece of our national heritage. We swung by here on a whim on a Sunday morning while it for a bike ride. The staff at the monument were incredibly friendly and have us a personal introduction to the house. If we had wanted to, we could have waited a bit longer and had a full tour. The house itself is beautiful and it is full of great memorabilia from the women's really movement. The fact that it still contains the offices of the National Women's Party is also very cool. Do stop by for a visit if you have the chance!

Nice Museum in the Heart of Washington DC to learn more About the role played by theses Women

I ve visited DC at least 10 times. The history held and told within these walls has had the greatest impact on me of any history I ve ever heard. It s a haunting history of unfinished work I m ashamed to not have known about. Our tour, led by NPS employee and historian, Mannie was incredible. I wept the entire time. I m motivated by Deeds more than Words.

I gained new insights into the struggle for women's rights during my visit. The site is manageable size and not crowded.

This museum is in the midst of renovations. I'm sure when finished it will be a lovely place. Right now it is a treasure trove of information on the struggle for women's equality. It is worth the visit. The Park Rangers are nice and very knowledgeable.

Great historical spot in DC for women's rights! Worth a quick trip there!

Really disappointed that I've tried to visit twice, but the operating hours don't align with what's posted. I'll try again, and perhaps the website will be updated.

The assessment was written in Korean and in poor English.
This review is written in Korean and English.

The building is located midway between Union Station and the US Capitol. It is a place that is easy to miss if you do not plan to visit separately because there is no difference in appearance with general houses.
The building was built in 1800, and in 1929 the National Woman's Party (NWP) bought the building. For decades, this was the headquarters for the women's equality movement. Since it was a general house from the time of the use of the headquarters, the inside of the building is narrow and there is not much to see. But it is not too bad that we can look at the 20th century American women's movement data and at the same time, look at the structure of modern American housing.
Since the admission fee is free, please take a look around time. I did not check my belongings at the entrance of the building.

This building stands somewhere between Union Station and United States Capitol. It looks like an ordinary house just like others, so very easy to miss if you do not have specific plan to visit.
The building was built in 1800, and the National Woman's Party (NWP) was bought in 1929. Since then they used it for headquarters for women's equality movement. The building is small and does not have many things to exhibit, because it is just an ordinary house which actually lived and NWP never expanded. You can enjoy both the 20's and the women's equality movement and the late period's housing style.
Admission is free and there was no belongings checking.

Great place to just sink in the history of the women's suffrage movement. The staff was excellent and you get to interact with some of the items.

I'd prefer if the museum operated privately instead of being added to the rolls of taxpayer-funded Federal programming via the Antiquities Act. But the museum is interesting and educational.

This National monument has it all- feminism, artifacts, knowledgeable rangers, and an air of history only found in a few truly historic places around the city.

A great place to learn women sufferage movement in USA
