MUSEUM OF MOTHERHOOD WEBSITE

Mothering Trackbacks (0)

Motherhood Foundation will establish a world-class International Museum Of Motherhood, in Seneca Falls in 2011 to display the herstory of North American Mothers, promote women’s studies and the evolution of family, while honoring the achievements of women who are mothers in perpetuity. However immediate goals dictate the necessity of a broad reaching internet campaign and virtual display of the initial phases of The Museum Of Motherhood to build momentum and generate a wave of interest that will increase the financial momentum necessary to realize this vision.
