This traditional Federal-style dwelling was home to the first American-born saint of the Roman Catholic Church. Elizabeth Anne Seton founded a girls school here in 1808 and also established the first sisterhood of nuns in the US. The gothic-style chapel where Mother Seton took her vows is a popular tourist attraction, as is her home, which still contains many personal items and furnishings from the 1800s.
