National Historic Landmark- Race Street Meetinghouse

Race Street Meetinghouse, which served as the site of the Hicksite Yearly Meeting from 1857 to 1955, was at the forefront of women's involvement both in Quaker religion and in American political activism.

Many leaders in the Women's Movement were associated with this meetinghouse; this included abolitionist and women's activist Lucretia Mott, peace activist Hannah Clothier Hull, and suffrage leader Alice Paul.
