Campus Expansion
Build a 21st Century Interpretive Center
We are expanding our campus to amplify our reach and impact.
Susan B Anthony’s home base was in Rochester, NY. Our campus includes the National Historic Landmark Susan B. Anthony House at 17 Madison Street, the home of her sister, Hannah Anthony Mosher, at 19 Madison Street, an education space we call the “Carriage House,” and a Queen Anne style house that serves as our administrative offices at 16 Madison.
Through this campaign, we will build a new interpretive center around the corner at 33 Jefferson Avenue. Here, we will be able to accommodate our growing audience for decades to come. We have planned engaging, immersive exhibits that connect Susan B Anthony’s life and work to today’s issues. We will have adequate, state of the art spaces to protect, conserve, and research our invaluable objects, artifacts, and documents.
It will provide a world-class, accessible, educational and inspirational experience. The new building will incorporate:
Self-guided exhibits and galleries, featuring new technologies that will engage and inspire.
Programming spaces with technology for livestreaming, recording, and projection.
Secure, fire-safe, environmentally-controlled space for historic collections that meets museum standards.
Classrooms, offices, and library space for scholars, interns, students, volunteers, and staff.
Retail space and facilities to support catering and special events.
Adequate parking and drop-off for cars and buses.
Visitors will have a much broader understanding of this icon of history when they experience the neighborhood that she called home, and we will be more effective at sharing this story with the world: Susan B. Anthony changed the world.
So can you!
