Join us on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 from 2 pm to 5 pm as we once again participate in Civic Season! Civic Season is the flagship program from Made By Us, a network of hundreds of museums, historic sites, libraries and archives unleashing access to history for younger generations.

This year’s event, Fabric for the Future: The Art of Voting, celebrates Susan B. Anthony’s commitment to civic engagement and voting rights. The Monroe County Board of Elections will demo the new voting machines and will partner with the Anthony Museum for a voter registration pop-up.

The Anthony Museum will also display a specially curated selection of quilt squares from its 2020 Quilt Project, which was a collaborative public art project to honor women’s history and celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Over 325 quilt squares were submitted by people from people all over the United States and Canada. Each block represents a theme significant to the artist, with a focus on the people, places, and events related to the woman’s suffrage movement or the unfinished business of securing equal rights for all.

There is no admission fee to attend this event.
