Birthplace of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Adirondack Trail, State Rt. 30A, near Johnstown in Fulton County
Women’s rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton's birthplace is located at Main and North Market streets, Johnstown, NY.
Born the 12th of November, 1815, in Johnstown, American reformer Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the daughter of Daniel Cady (1773-1859), a Federalist member of the House of Representatives and a New York State Supreme Court Justice. Cady Stanton was educated at the Johnstown Academy and at the Troy Female Seminary (later called the Emma Willard School), where she graduated in 1832. She married Henry Brewster Stanton, a lawyer and abolitionist, in 1840. Cady Stanton's part in writing the Declaration of Sentiments and in organizing the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention of 1848 were but two of her lifetime achievements.
