Celebrate your Vote is the inaugural event of The Friends of the Susan B. Anthony House, an organization founded in 2006 by Betsy Stanton and Jolene Smith. The goal of the organization is to increase awareness of the House museum and raise additional funds for the House.
The Susan B. Anthony House shares the story of Susan B. Anthony’s lifelong struggle to gain voting rights for women and equal rights for all. We keep her vision and struggle alive by owning and protecting Anthony’s National Historic Landmark home; collecting artifacts and research materials directly related to her life and work; and making these resources available to the public through tours, publications, educational and interpretive programs, and the Internet. The Susan B. Anthony House is supported primarily through the contributions of its members. The Susan B. Anthony House is not affiliated with other organizations bearing her name.
