History
The Susan B. Anthony House in Rochester, New York, was Anthony’s home from 1866 until her death in 1906 and became a major center of the women’s suffrage movement. She lived there with her sister Mary S. Anthony and their mother, and after becoming president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1892, she moved the organization’s operational headquarters there. The house is especially significant as the place where a United States Marshal arrested Anthony in 1872 after she voted in a federal election. Later preserved as a museum, it remains closely associated with Anthony’s life, work, and the long struggle for women’s voting rights.
