I have lived in the Rochester area my whole life and have never been here until 2020. This such a great gem for our community and I am so glad I got to share the Susan B. House with my 4 year old and teach her about womens rights with my parents there as well.Our tour started outside and we were only able to tour the bottom floor of the house due to Covid-19 restrictions. At this time they are only allowing 1 group of related parties to go into the gift shop at a time. It was still a good time and once Covid is not a threat anymore they will open the second floor back for viewing. To view the Susan B. House you need to reserve tickets online since they are following the Covid guidelines limiting the amount of guests viewing at one time. Masks are required.
I highly enjoyed my visit here. The tour was very informational and interesting to learn about how influential Susan was. All the museum staff were helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They are good about following mask requirements, social distancing, and cleanliness. We did get to see the first floor inside the house, but not the second floor where the bedrooms are.
Great information and a great tour. We learned a lot. I wish we could have seen more of the house, but we couldnt see more of the house due to COVID.
We had an extremely informant docent who told us everything we could possibly learn about Susan B. Anthony. I learned a bunch of valuable information and she reinforced the things that should be taught more in history class. definitely a place to check out if your visiting Rochester, it’s in a convenient location and they do have parking. The prices aren’t that bad, either. Pictures are permitted too. You get a tour of the whole house and learn so much. they also have nice souvenirs you can get at the gift shop as well.
Whoever is running this needs to be removed immediately. Rejecting, as if they could, a presidential pardon which has been long over due. Makes me sick to think that peoples political identities override all decency and common sense.
I am deeply Disappointed in your decision to not accept the pardon for Susan B Anthony from President Trump. I am sure that if it were a past President then you would have accepted a pardon. She afterall did break the law of that Generation and he showed mercy and his pardon actually proves that the law was wrong by not allowing women to be valued as they should have been in that time frame. But if you want her to remain a criminal then you will have to live with your decision. I will gladly change my review to a 5 star when you come to your senses and give respect to the President for his kindness because all the other Presidents in the past did not care one bit about her legacy. A pardon does not mean someone was guilty, it actually vindicates that person for being wronged.
Kinda short, but great information and overall insightful and penetrating look into Anthonys life and influence
So has any other President in the past pardoned SBA? So why such bitterness? Your attitude is pretty pathetic for speaking on behalf of someone who isnt even alive.
We took our 7 year old daughter here while in Rochester for the house tour. Our guide, Martha, was great. The tour was filled with lots of useful history of Susan B. Anthony and the struggle of women fighting for their right to vote. It was interesting to see the home represented as it would have been at the time it was the epicenter of the fight for womens suffrage. Well worth the visit to see how far we have come as a nation and a vivid reminder of the work that still needs to be done.
Wonderfully maintained, and it does a tremendous job telling the amazing story of Susan B Anthony. I highly recommend having this on your visit-Rochester list.
A great tour. There was much more history than I had known and our children got a lot out of it too. Such an important part of our history.
The tour and house were amazing to see! Our tour guide was great at telling the stories that surround that time in our history, even the ones including race. Informative experience that is important for all people to take part in!
Disrespectful to our President. The people in charge should be removed.
Great tour... Jillian was awesome and very knowledgable. She brought S.B.A. to life with her stories.
This was the primary reason for stopping in Rochester. Property consists of two homes - hers and her sister’s next door, which houses the museum and a parking lot for visitors. Also free parking on the street. House was nice but the stories and history shared by the volunteer docent made the visit so worthwhile. One fun fact was the children of the era had a jump rope rhyme that referred to her as “the woman with the alligator bag.” And yes, her original satchel was there. Many furnishings in the home are of the era rather than original because it was a home for others after she passed, but curators have done a nice job recreating it.
This a great historical site. Very important for U.S. history, and informative guide/docent.
Excellent staff. Lots of knowledge. In a sketch neighborhood though
She is very famous. If you live Rochester please stop by.
Worthwhile tour of the privately held home with lots of facts to learn, lots of things to see. My daughters, 8 & 10 years old, interacted along the way. We all enjoyed listening and learning and being inspired! Plan for an hour here. The parking lot is small but there is lots of street parking if its full.
I am handicapped so climbing three flights of stairs was difficult but the guide was so helpful and patient with me and didnt continue the teaching until I got there and made sure I had a chair to sit in.I had a walker and everyone was so helpful. I couldnt bring walker up the stairs but there were very sturdy handrails.The guide was so informative and knowledgeable and showed that she really loved to teach us. I learned a lot and am so much more appreciative of Susan B.
I was in the area and came here to pay my respects to this great lady who helped change our country for the better in so many ways. The guide and staff were knowledgeable and enthusiastic and pointed out all artifacts that were Susan B. Anthonys or her familys, as well as how the house and furnishings had been restored to resemble when she and her family lived here. There are a couple of fun photo ops after the tour to show you were with Susan B., and you can visit the nearby park with a lovely statue of her having tea with another historic giant and her friend, Frederick Douglass. Really thankful for the efforts to maintain and share this historically important place.
Very informative. Great gift shop! Tour was fantastic; and shedding the light on 100 years of sufferage this year: is fantastic.
Very informative tour about one of my communitys biggest historical heros.
Very knowledgable. It was a wonderful toyr
Our tour was informative and fun.
Call ahead and schedule a tour. Extremely knowledgeable docents!
This was great. Learned some great things from the history of womens rights! Very limited parking
By far one of the best tours Ive been on.
Nice little museum with some good history information and a friendly and helpful volunteer staff! Be sure to check out the sculpture of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass having tea at the park just down the street.
Great tour! Very informative and interesting.
I absolutely LOVE the Susan B. Anthony house. This is probably one of the best historical sights I have ever seen in America. The staff here are wonderful and provide very detailed and informational tours. The price is so reasonable and it is really the most informational, educational and enjoyable experience. I love the amount of historical content provided in the tour and on site. This is great for those interested in womens rights and local history.If you live in the area, nearby or are stopping through - a must see.
Wonderful tour great guide!!!!! I was so excited we got to visit this place and learned a lot while there.
Very rude management...shameful
Such an opportunity to see the actual house and rooms. The docent was eloquent, knowledgeable and had a great speaking voice
A piece of history.
Thats what the tour guides red vest says, and after taking the tour, its how I feel too. I came with modest expectations, but our tour guide was not only knowledgeable, she was able to paint a vivid picture of SBAs life and work. Getting to see the actual rooms and offices as she spoke made it more meaningful.Our tour was not at all political but rather stuck to historical facts. I was able to make my own connections to contemporary issues but our guide didnt do any of that except for at the conclusion of the tour where she asked the group what kinds of things we thought SBA might be fighting for today. There was no judgement passed on what anyone said.
Lacks diversity
We visited a few women-centered sites in Seneca Falls (site of the first womens convention led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton) and Harriet Tubmans home in Auburn and were really inspired by these courageous women and their stories. When we learned that Susan B. Anthonys home was less than an hour away in Rochester, we decided to visit.The house tour was excellent and informative. The docent showed the rooms as usual and sprinkled every stop with interesting tidbits about Ms. Anthony, her Quaker sensibilities, and her advocacy for womens rights. Its unfortunate that she didnt live to see the ratification of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote, but her contributions have secured her a well-deserved place in the history of womens rights in America.They run the tours a few times a day. Check their website or call ahead for their schedule. There is a small parking lot on-site and we found a spot easily. As in other historical sites, there is a small gift shop and some exhibitions at the Visitor Center.As we were leaving, the docent told us about another site we might be interested in visiting - Mount Hope Cemetery just a short drive away, where Ms. Anthony and another important figure, Frederick Douglass, are buried. We decided to go and spent half an hour there.
A super interesting place to visit! The docents are great, engaging and armed with details. Much more than I expected. The site is beautifully done and historically as accurate as possible. Includes many of Susan Bs actual belongings. Well worth the trip.
Blessed
Great tour by the fantastic staff!! I learned so much!!
Well worth the stop, well maintained historical house museum.
Such a great resource for us and a wonderful way to dsicover our past.
Nice but small parking lot. Not good for full size trucks or suvs
Ungrateful liberal dump
Great learning experience, the guides were fully informed and spend lots of time with our group
Interesting interpretation of the history of voting rights in the USA.
The docents were very knowledgeable. The information available was plenty. Nice museum.
A lot of history. The staff was very knowledgeable.
I appreciated how the staff took the time to answer my questions. Paloma was an excellent tour guide - her knowledge and enthusiasm made it a fun stop.
Went with a school field trip. Great tour
Very cool tour. House is in great shape.
An amaing museum appropriate to an amazing woman. Everyone should go. Everyone should know her story. Excellent guided tour
Very interesting history and very important for people to remember how hard it was to get the right to voted. Highly recommend going and checking out Sudan’s house.
Must see
Very good tour!
Totally legit. Nice quality displays in museum room. Historically enlightening. Hour tour. Learned Susan was the lady with the alligator purse as well as womens rights activist. Actually considered buying alligator purse in great little gift shop. (Bought books, cards, puzzle, scarf instead.) Docent was so knowledgable and threw in neat info nuggets. Stairs are steep to upper room office but Anthony was going up even in her 80s. Also walked to see sculpture at Square a few houses away. Nice photo op there. Enjoyed visit. Would recommend it.
Great tour. Fascinating details. A piece of history. Well preserved artifacts.
One of those places you have to visit because Susan B Anthony was kind of a big deal - go across the street and take a picture with the Susan B and Fred D having tea
Great Docent, informative,interesting house.
Amazing tour. Freddie was our tour guide and she was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and told us fascinating facts and stories. This museum is a must see. It is inspiring and important to Rochester culture.
I went their for my daughter but was very impressed.
I got to learn about thoroughly on the life is Susan B. Anthony and the tour guides were very explanatory and friendly.
Our tour guide Fantastically informed, and wonderfully enthusiastic
Very nice small local museum. Fabulous tours and lots of interesting info on the womens suffrage and more
Historical site you must visit and support.
Wonderful, historical tour by a very knowledgeable docent. Learned a lot about the suffrage movement as well as Susan B Anthony. We also walked to the park to see the statue, nice area.
It was a cold and damp day so we stopped for the tour. Our docent Martha Tedrowe knew more about SBA then the law allows, and I came out of the tour with more knowledge, a better appreciation and support for the womens suffrage movement and the continuing struggle than I ever would have imagined. I would highly recommend this tour. Its short, informative and inspring. Even the kids loved it.
Great tour and history lesson of a pioneering lady
Interesting and informative and worth a visit.
Small museum, but well worth the visit into the life and mission of Susan B. Anthony, and how anyone during this period of time thought and lived.
Terrific history and a delightful and insightful tour guide!
Wonderful tour guides, great interpretation
Peggy Oakes was an awesome tour guide!
I Love this house. I learned a lot about Ms. Anthony. The docent was so knowledgeable Would visit again!
This place is filled with history, its a wonderful learning experience.
Great tour! Amazing bits of history in every room.
A lot of history in this house
Didnt go in. Just drove by the place. Google wont let me delete.
Great historical information. The house is in great shape and or tour guide knew her facts!
An important piece of American History and well worth the visit. To any civic leaders reading this review: GIVE THE MUSEUM MORE FUNDING!
Such a cool experience!
Interesting and informative....nice tour!
Very nice tour of Susan B. Anthonys home! Wonderful tour guide that informed me of many things I did not know about the suffragist movement.
Brings the truth of the struggle for womens rights to an easily-graspable level. Sometimes it can be hard to forget that the fight is advanced only by individuals working together, rather than some nebulous social trend.
Learned a lot, well preserved. Tour guide was knowledgeable and accommodating
Fantastic but admission is way overpriced. $15
Historical place nicely refurbished
Tour was phenomenal, knowledgable guides
Very interesting place of significant value in our history for equal rights
Alsome place to lurn about history
