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.
