Susan B. Anthony House

Home of a Famous SuffragetteThis 1866 house in Rochester NY is the former home of women's rights activist and suffragette Susan B. Anthony.  In 1872 the parlor of this house was the site of the famous moment in history where Susan B. Anthony was arrested for attempting to vote. The current house museum is dedicated to sharing Anthony's lifelong struggle by displaying artifacts from her life and telling her story through the exhibits in the house.    The visitors' center and museum shop are located next door where you can buy a unique souvenir or memento of your visit. If you have a group visiting why not try the Tea and Tour, which includes an elegant afternoon tea in the Carriage House after your guided tour. Open Tuesday through Sunday for tours and events.
