Keynote & Kin:
Jeanne Gehret Joins Anthony Descendants
for Annual SBABM Celebration
Save the date! The Museum’s annual birthday celebration for Susan is set for February 9th, 2025. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Jeanne Gehret as our keynote speaker. A dedicated
researcher and author, Gehret has spent years delving into the Anthony family’s rich history. Her monthly newsletters bring their world to life, exploring their fight for racial and gender equality, pivotal life events, and the Victorian culture that shaped them. Gehret is also author of children's book, Susan B. Anthony And Justice For All, a short, but animated telling of the life and work of Susan B. Anthony. Visit jeannegehretauthor.com to learn more.
Join the Museum Board in inviting members of our Ancestral Board Anthony Family Descendants. Don't miss this inspiring, historic event open to the public. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
Seated by Susan:
Interactive Children’s Exhibit Brings
Quaker Life to Light
In August this year, we launched a new interactive children's exhibit called Seated by Susan. Using a collection of 19th and early 20th century miniature chairs, the exhibit highlights the different lives and activities of children from Susan’s time.
The chairs on display are graciously on loan by Board President, Carol Crossed. Initial research on the chairs was done by 2023 intern Mia Campbell, and curated with the help of Edward Kitson of Aves Appraisal. 2024 interns Christina Lothrop and Hannah Hoggatt designed the exhibit launched this year.
Each chair tells a unique, fictional story of a child from the chair’s time period. Children visiting are encouraged to complete a scavenger hunt where they “meet” each child and complete to win a prize. We invite families to come and experience these stories brought to life.
This exhibit will remain open to the public through the end of the year.
