Reviews of Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum
"I learned a lot about Susan B. Anthony, her life and work. Very interesting! Our tour guide, Marty was chock full of information"
"What a cool experience visiting Susan B. Anthony's Birthplace! There is a little museum inside as well as a gift shop. Must stop by for any history lovers!"
"Highly recommend the tour as the guide was incredibly full of knowledge and took the time to answer any questions we may have had. This Museum is worth the visit and a must see if you are in the area."
"Susan Anthony was/is a seminal character in American history and universal human rights. Were it not for her and her contemporaries American women could still be ruled by a patriarchal conservative, Right-wing mentality. This museum is significant in that it tells this story of women struggling to attain the same rights as men had. One of the disappointing things about the museum, however, is the anti-abortion, anti-choice (pro-life) stance the owner and trustees of the museum take in discussing the early women's movement. They clearly imply through their displays that most women in Susan's time were pro-life, anti-choice about pregnancy. This simply was not, and is not today, the case. Most women then and now want access to contraception, and safe and legal medical abortion services if they choose this option. In short, it is a woman's body and it is their choice. The museum needs to present a balanced view of this issue if they are going to address the topic. Otherwise, they are engaging in propaganda. When you investigate the owner of the museum, Carol Crossed, you find she is an anti-choice (pro-life activist). This can easily make one conclude that she is using the legacy of Susan B Anthony to make it appear that women in that time were unanimously opposed to abortion. Thus simply is not the case and the museum comes across as dishonest for trying to connect the two together. We suggest you go to this museum, but be cognizant of the conservative view regarding whether women have the human right to control their bodies as they choose."
