Welcome to Susan B. Anthony's Home
The Susan B. Anthony House shares the story of Susan B. Anthony’s lifelong struggle to gain voting rights for women and equal rights for all. We keep her vision alive and relevant by preserving and sharing Anthony’s National Historic Landmark home; collecting artifacts and research materials directly related to her life and work; and making these resources available to the public through tours, publications, the internet and interpretive programs.
The Susan B. Anthony House was the home of the legendary American civil rights leader during the most politically active period of her life, and the site of her famous arrest for voting in 1872. Come visit through the Photo Gallery, browse through the extensive selection of merchandise in our museum shop, and learn about our ever-expanding programs. Best yet, come see us in person! With such an incredible and inspiring story, you won't be disappointed!
The Susan B. Anthony House relies upon our wonderful members to open our doors and keep Miss Anthony's legacy alive. Become a member—and you can help us share the story of this courageous American patriot with thousands of visitors each year—enable us to welcome schoolchildren for special theme tours and educational programs to teach them about Susan B. Anthony's struggle for equal rights—and help us to collaborate with other organizations to keep alive her story of courage and perseverance.

The Anthony House got a jump on Nurses' Week (May 6-12, 2010) with a breakfast in the Carriage House on Saturday, May 1, for our Nursing Friends of the Susan B. Anthony House. Attendees were treated to a special tour of the House which included vignettes related to nursing: home care in the nineteenth century, the Anthony sisters as caregivers, the role that Susan B. Anthony played in the 1902 NY State Nurses Convention (when the Armstrong Act was proposed), and an introduction to Margaret Shanks, one of the nurses who cared for the Anthony sisters in their last days. Susan B. Anthony valued and promoted the nursing profession, and we are proud to continue her tradition!
