Anthony Museum & House 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.

Let's have tea with the Friends of the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House Sunday, October 26, 2014 3:00 p.m. Locust Hill Country Club 2000 Jefferson Road Pittsford, New York $50 per person Delightful music, elegant tea, delicious pastry All proceeds of this ninth annual Friends' fundraising event will benefit the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House 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. teaganward.com
