Susan B. Anthony Voted Here
At a shop on this site on November 5, 1872, Susan B. Anthony and 14 women from this neighborhood voted in the presidential election.
Two weeks later, Miss Anthony was arrested in her home on Madison Street for this illegal action.
Women struggled for 48 more years before the ratification of the 19th Amendment making it legal for women to vote.
That amendment is known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment.
Marker can be reached from West Main Street (New York Route 33) west of Canal Street, on the right when traveling east.
