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.
