A cache near the Susan B. Anthony House, in a park honoring Susan B. and Frederick Douglass.
Please make sure no one is watching you when you retrieve the cache; it is an ammo can, and we would like it to stay here a while. Please be careful with the landscaping, as well.
Cache was begun with 10 guest passes to the Susan B. Anthony House. Please only take one pass per group to leave some for future cachers and to help support the House with your admission price.
This cache is located in the historic Susan B. Anthony neighborhood, a haven of historic preservation within the city's urban west side. The tree lined streets take one back to the time when Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, and other activists and revolutionaries of the time were working to change the world. The cache is located in the historic Susan B. Anthony Square Park.
In the park is a bronze sculpture of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, called 'Let's Have Tea.' Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass were great champions of civil rights and were friends for many years. Despite a well-known falling out, they did patch up their friendship years later.
'Let's Have Tea' was created by Rochester sculptor Pepsy Kettavong who lives right in the neighborhood. Pepsy also created the well-known statue of Nathaniel Rochester in the Southwedge neighborhood. (There's a cache there, too.)
After finding the cache walk down the street and visit the Susan B. Anthony House and Museum. (Open 11-5 Tues-Sun) Educated and friendly volunteer docents lead tours of the home that Susan B. Anthony lived and worked in for the 40 most politically active years of her life. Highlights of the tour include the original alligator bag Miss Anthony carried with her on her cross country campaigns for women's rights, and the bedroom where she died, with her original furniture.
The cache was begun with 10 guest passes to the Museum! Please only take one per group, to leave some for future cachers. Regular admission is only $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $6 for students.
Enjoy!
