The walls are covered with pictures that once hung in the headquarters of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. They show the pioneers and leaders of the early woman's rights movement. |

in the Women's Building at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago
in 1893. The bust is on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In her last public address before her death on March 13, 1906 Susan B. Anthony inspired her followers with the now famous words, "Failure is Impossible." Her presence lives on in her home and continues to inspire us today. We hope that this brief tour has inspired you to visit The Susan B. Anthony House and become a member. With your help we can continue to preserve this national landmark and keep its doors open to visitors. Failure is Impossible. Thank You for Touring The House! |
