More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the U.S. report experiencing sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. This means we all know someone who has experienced abuse.

The National Women’s Hall of Fame is honored to receive a 2026 Excellence in Historic Preservation Award from the Preservation League of New York State, recognizing the restoration and adaptive reuse of the historic Seneca Knitting Mill.

This recognition reflects nearly two decades of work to preserve the 1844 Mill and transform it into the Hall’s permanent home, creating a space where women’s history can be shared for generations to come.

We’re especially grateful to CJS Architects, whose leadership, expertise and partnership have been integral to bringing this vision to life, as well as the many partners who contributed to this remarkable project.

It's WHRC Wednesday! This week, we kindly direct your attention to the October "From the Archives" blog post, where we take a look at some of the early GFWC leaders featured in one of the treasures of the WHRC collections: the "Founders Book." Prepared around 1894, this unique volume includes essays, club lists, and - best of all - over thirty original photographs of women who led the early Federation, without whose work the organization might not have endured for over a century.
