In collaboration with the Adams Historical Society and the Adams Free Library The Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum will hold a birthday event to celebrate her 205th birthday on Sunday, February 9th at 2:00 pm, in the G.A.R Memorial hall within the Adams Free Library. This event will feature keynote speaker and author Jeanne Gehret, a researcher and historian who has spent years working specifically with the Anthony family’s history. Gehret’s work offers new insights into the lives and values of the Anthony family, and she will share her knowledge and research in an engaging presentation.

As a precursor to Gehret’s talk there will be a reception with food provided by the Birthplace Museum and local vendors. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow members of the community and discuss Susan’s lasting impact and fight for equality.  To commemorate this milestone, the Anthony family descendants will be recreating an iconic 1897 Anthony Family photo, taken at the base of the Adams East Road home- now museum. This historic image, which is displayed in the museum, captures a pivotal moment in the family’s legacy and history in Adams.
