About The Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum

The museum occupies the first home of Susan B. Anthony and aims to teach visitors about her life and her work for social change. Its exhibits and programs cover Quaker traditions, the fight against slavery, the temperance movement, reproductive rights history, and the campaign for women's voting rights. Visitors can take in the historic house, join group tours or school field trips, or explore a virtual tour through the XPLORE app. The museum also runs seasonal events such as afternoon teas, a yearly reenactment of Anthony's 1876 speech on the Adams Town Common, and a kiosk where visitors can read The Revolution, the newspaper Anthony published with Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
