National Susan B. Anthony House and Museum Programs

Tour and Program: Change It! Shaping Women’s Rights in America
Using Susan B. Anthony and the 19th century women’s rights movement as a backdrop, students will learn about different methods of reform by touring her National Historic Landmark home and participating in an interactive, hands-on workshop. They will gain access to unique primary source materials, and then use these historical resources to help stage their very own mock demonstration. This workshop can be focused on women’s rights, contemporary American issues or contemporary global issues.
