Save the dates—
Allison Hinman, our summer intern, describes how 17 Madison Street inspires her:
“As a museum studies student there have been many class discussions about how museums
must serve their community and be accessible. After the first week of my internship I
understood how dedicated the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House is to its community. I have had the privilege of observing a number of different programs and have
seen a direct connection to the museum’s mission and Miss Anthony’s values. This entire
summer has been an amazing experience. It has changed the way I think about
programming and how I will engage with my community in the future.”
I hope everyone had an opportunity to attend the Susan B. Anthony Festival
celebrating the 19th Amendment on Sunday August 17! It was such a beautiful and
fun filled day! Hope you enjoy the pictures below!
Now it’s the middle of September and Fall is just a few days away! There are so many
exciting events on our calendar! The Monday Lecture Series is starting September 29
and is nearly sold out! The following MLS is on October 20 with a few tickets remaining!
The Friends of the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House are well into planning their Fall Tea
featuring Teagan Ward. I hope to see many of you on Sunday, October 26 at Locust
Hill Country Club.
As always, thank you for your support!

Singer/songwriter, Teagan Ward doesn’t just sing, she roars!
Don’t be fooled by her small stature; this lady can match and exceed the vocal talents
of legends, like Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin, with little effort.
Whether you hear her perform solo or as the front woman for Rochester’s Teagan
and the Tweeds, Ward always has the perfect recipe that will leave you satisfied.
Her tunes are sweet like molasses — nothing bubblegum about them — paired with a
soulful taste you’ll want to savor.
In 2010 Teagan was voted “Best Solo Musician” by CITY Newspaper and again in
2012 along with “Best Original Band” — Teagan and the Tweeds.
Joining Teagan Ward will be Lou Giglio on guitar and Alf Encina on drums.

Susan B. Anthony Festival was on Sunday, August 17
What’s New at the Anthony House:
A recently acquired 1898 oil painting
The recently acquired 1898 oil painting by Eliza Bowden Anthony, now hangs
in the dining room of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House. The
artist, Eliza A. Bowden Anthony, (1834-1905), was married to Benjamin
Anthony (1829-1899), a cousin of Susan B. Anthony.
Eliza was an amateur artist who lived in eastern Massachusetts. The painting is
of a sleigh drawn by one horse on a snow covered country road about to go over a small bridge. In the background are trees and the shadows of the
village houses. It is in a gold frame that compliments the picture and is
appropriate for the period (1900) of our dining room.
The painting is a gift of Dr. Elizabeth H. Fulmer, a 4th cousin of Susan B.
Anthony, 4th generation removed. It has been in their family since it was
painted in 1898 but Dr. Fulmer wanted the painting to come to the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House because
of the family connection and information passed down from her great grandmother Harriet Allen Anthony Houghton
about their connection to Miss Anthony.
The 94th anniversary of the Nineteenth
Amendment took place on August 17, 2014 from noon to 5 p.m. in the park between Madison and King streets and
in the Anthony House. There was live music and entertainment by local artists, including 6-time Grammy nominee and featured performer at our 2013 Fall
Tea, Chet Catallo & the Cats! Visitors took part in free walking tours of the Historic Preservation District and tours
of the Anthony House at a discounted cost. As always, members received complimentary admission.
