Paulsdale

Paulsdale is a historic estate and house museum in Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey.

Built about 1840, it was the birthplace and childhood home of Alice Paul (1885-1977), a major leader in the Women's suffrage movement in the United States, whose activism led to passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, granting women the right to vote.

Paulsdale was a place she regularly returned to, holding meetings and strategy sessions for her campaigns.

The larger became a housing development, while the smaller remained a private residence until it was purchased by the Alice Paul Institute in 1990.

[5] The purpose of the institute is to make sure Alice Paul's legacy survives by enhancing the knowledge of future generations on the topic of human rights.
