National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House

Vision: Our vision is to inspire our local, national, and global communities with the life and work of Susan B. Anthony. Like her, we believe that humanity, justice, and liberty are central to a community of, by, and for all people.

History: The National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House in Rochester, New York was the home of the legendary American 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.

We maintain and share Susan B. Anthony’s National Historic Landmark, historic properties, and collections; promote historical scholarship; and welcome guests to programs and exhibits related to her life, work, and influence. By interpreting how and why Susan B. Anthony changed the world, we inspire changemaking.
