Susan B. Anthony: Activist's birthplace now a Berkshires museum

  |   Comments   |   Bookmark and Share
Susan B. Anthony was born in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. She was one of five children to grow up in the home. The family moved to Vermont when she was 7 years old. Her adult life was spent in Rochester, N.Y. She fought for women's right to vote; the 19th Amendment was passed 14 years after her death in 1906.

The museum is dedicated to preserving the birthplace and raising public awareness of the wide-ranging legacy of the great social reformer.
