What: Susan B. Anthony House and Museum
Where: 17 Madison St.
Rochester, NY
Who: All ages
Me - The Susan B. Anthony House and Museum were interesting. I didn't know a lot about Susan B. Anthony before so I learned a lot. It was a good time to visit because of everything that is going on now. Also, in the Spring we saw a show about the suffragists. Although she was not a character in the show, she was definitely a pioneer in the movement. In fact, we have a lot of reasons to be grateful to Susan B. Anthony and women like her. Visiting her home reminds me that even though women can vote now, the fight is not over. We have to continue fighting not only for voting rights for all, but equality for all.
Mom - Now when women are back to fighting for rights that they had allegedly already won, it's a great time to visit the Rochester home of Susan B. Anthony House and remember one of the pioneers of the original Women's Movement. This historic house is where Susan was living when she was arrested for voting in 1872. It was also the headquarters of the National American Woman Suffrage Movement.
Guided tours of the home are available daily except for Mondays and major holidays. Tours are reasonably priced at $15 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and active military members, and $5.00 for students. Tour sizes are limited though and tours must be reserved in advance online.
Next door, to the Susan B. Anthony House, is the Visitor's Center. All tours of the house begin at this location. There is also a small museum and a gift shop there. The museum includes such exhibits as one on the Susan B. Anthony dollar and one on her relationship with fellow activist, Frederick Douglass.
And that's our view. For more information or to register for a tour of the Susan B. Anthony House, visit https://susanb.org
Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.
