Susan B. Anthony House announces new hours
Rochester, NY— The Susan B. Anthony House, Rochester’s first National Historic Landmark, announces new expanded hours for public tours, beginning May 29, 2007 and extending throughout the year. The House will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guided tours begin on the hour and half hour and are approximately one hour in length. The last tour of the day begins at 4 p.m.
The new hours will remain in effect after Labor Day. In previous years, the House reduced hours and days for public tours after Labor Day.
“The demand for tours has increased,” explains Deborah F. Lattime, interim executive director. “We want to respond by giving people more opportunities to come see this wonderful site and hear the story of this remarkable and courageous woman.”
Admission to the House is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, and $3 for students. Members receive free admission. All children 12 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. Group tours for 12 people or more are available by appointment.
The House is located in the Susan B. Anthony Historic Preservation District at 17 Madison St. in Rochester, off West Main Street, a few blocks west of the Inner Loop. For more information, call (585) 235-6124.
