The Homestead KitchenThis is the first welcoming view that greets visitors upon entering the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum. The hearth has been recreated as it looked in the early 1800s and the kitchen has been furnished in the traditional Georgian or "Regency" era fashion. The colors were matched to paint chips from when Susan lived in the house.

Vintage Suffrage PostcardMany postcards in the 19th and early 20th centuries boldly demanded women's voting rights - and an equal number disparaged the idea that woman could be man's equal in the political arena. While many postcards employed satirical cartoons, several suffrage associations commissioned more modest postcard series with banners or ribbons illustrated in the movement's colors of purple, yellow, and later, white.
