Blushing Bush

Our snowball hydrangea is a favorite on the museum grounds. In the summer and early fall it provides a beautiful, aromatic backdrop for our bench. Visitors and staff alike love to sit reading in the shade of this lovely bush.

The Homestead Kitchen

This 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.

In Daniel's Store

In one corner of Daniel's Store, recreated as it might have looked when Susan's father sold local goods out of the family home, you can see this assortment of tools for home, farm, and work. The hooks are made from hand-cut nails.

Vintage Suffrage Postcard

Many 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.
