Tour Information and Online Reservations



The National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House in Rochester, New York, features
the National Historic Landmark home of the legendary civil rights leader, and
the site of her famous arrest for voting in 1872. This home was the headquarters
of the National American Woman Suffrage Association when she was its president.
This is also where she died in 1906 at age 86, following her “Failure is
Impossible” speech in Baltimore. The Anthony Museum offers guided tours of the
Susan B. Anthony House six days a week, from 11 am- 5pm. Reservations are
recommended, because tours often sell out. Tours begin at the Visitor Center at
19 Madison Street, where you will find a museum shop and small exhibit center.
Group tours, school programs, virtual programs, and special events are also
offered throughout the year.

We invite you to visit in person, join us virtually, or explore our website to
learn more about Susan B. Anthony and the programs we offer at the Anthony
Museum to inspire change-makers of all ages. Visit the Photo Gallery, browse our
Museum Shop, and learn about our ever-expanding programs.

People come from around the world to visit us at 17 Madison Street. Inspiring
others through the remarkable life and work of Susan B. Anthony and women like
her is our purpose and passion!

SETTING THE STAGE FOR EXPANSION

For many years, the Anthony Museum has been strategizing how to address three
challenges that limit our effectiveness:

 * Proper environment and storage for our permanent collection
 * Facilities that can accommodate our growing audience
 * Space in which to tell the broader story of Susan B. Anthony’s work and
   impact

In 2018, we came to the conclusion that adding a building to our Anthony Museum
campus would be the most effective way to address all three challenges. Studies
confirmed that a 20,000 square foot building would meet our needs, allow for
future growth, and be sustainable for the organization. New construction would
be necessary (and most cost effective) to assure the facility is engineered to
museum standards for accessibility, security, safety, and
environmental controls. 

Our next step was to find a suitable site for the new building that would: 1. Be
within walking distance of the current Anthony Museum historic properties, 2.
Accommodate increased traffic flow by cars and buses with minimum impact to the
historic district, and 3. Fit well with the City of Rochester’s Plan 2034 for
community development.

After some bumps, we identified six contingent parcels that would become our
building site and three more that would allow for parking and bus access to the
historic properties. In November of 2021, the Rochester City Council voted to
sell us the eight parcels that were city-owned vacant land, and in December we
entered into a contract to purchase the one parcel that was privately owned.

With the acquisition of these parcels, we are moving this plan a big step closer
to reality. Now we are busy with strategies and plans for the future. We have
partnered with Solid Light, Inc., a museum design firm that has created
innovative museum spaces such as the American Civil War Museum and the Discovery
Park of America. Also on board are SWBR and Christa Construction. Just as Susan
B. Anthony valued the power of like-minded people working together for a common
goal, we are pleased to partner with this team of professionals to move us
closer to our goal.

> > The bonus impact of the new interpretive center is its promise to bring
> > much-needed cultural tourism dollars into our community. When visitors come
> > from out-of-town and stay overnight, it is estimated that they spend $600
> > per night in the local economy as they rent hotel rooms, eat meals, buy
> > tickets, use transportation, and shop. Based on this model, if the Anthony
> > Museum draws 10,000 new visitors to Rochester, that will have an economic
> > impact of $6 Million.

Of course, they may only spend $25 of that at the Anthony Museum, but we will be
thrilled to bring those new dollars into our local economy.




2020 QUILT PROJECT

The Anthony Museum launched the “2020 Quilt Project” to celebrate the Women’s
Suffrage Centennial in 2020. This   collaborative public art project produced
325 textile “blocks” created by artists from across the United States and
Canada.  Each block represents a theme significant to the artist, with a focus
on the people, places, and events related to the woman’s suffrage movement or
the unfinished business of securing equal rights for all, regardless of gender.
The blocks can be displayed individually, in small sets, or as a whole “quilt.”


Visit the 2020 Quilt Project site to see a gallery of the blocks and learn more
about this project.
