Anthony lived for a time. Courtesy New York State Parks and Recreation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, the state is involved in an effort to stabilize and preserve the childhood home of prominent 19th century women\u2019s rights activist Susan B. Anthony in Washington County.<br \/>\nThe work at the 1832 two-story brick home on Route 29 in Battenville, where Anthony lived from ages 13 to 19, includes repairs to the roof, masonry and drainage, as well as mold remediation and water damage.<br \/>\n\u201cNew York has been the birthplace to many of the progressive movements that have left an indelible mark on our society while pushing the nation forward and particularly for women\u2019s suffrage, which began at Seneca Falls and included legendary New Yorkers such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and so many more,\u201d Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. \u201cAs we commemorate the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote, we must also recognize there is more work to be done.\u201d<!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cOn the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, this development will stabilize Susan B. Anthony\u2019s childhood home in Washington County, allowing for the reuse of the property,\u201d said Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul. \u201cWhile the Susan B. Anthony House and Museum in Rochester showcases the history of one of the world\u2019s greatest revolutionaries, this project will further preserve Anthony\u2019s legacy in New York state. As the birthplace of the women\u2019s rights movement, New York was the first major state to grant the right to vote in the country, leading the way for the 19th Amendment.\u201d<br \/>\nThis year is also the 200th anniversary of Susan B. Anthony\u2019s birth, in 1820. The child of a Quaker family that promoted abolition and temperance, she lived in Washington County, in Battenville and later in Center Falls, from 1826 to 1845 between the ages of 6 and 25 before her family moved to Rochester.<br \/>\nThe state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is managing the $695,000 stabilization project. It has also reached a purchase agreement on an adjoining four-acre site that contains a former historic tavern dating to the period when the Anthony family lived next door.<br \/>\nSupported by the state Environmental Protection Fund, the $130,500 purchase will allow for future creation of adequate parking for the Anthony home and serve as a staging area for continued phased redevelopment of the building for an as-yet undetermined future use, officials said.<br \/>\nState Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid said, \u201cPart of our mission is the preservation of our state\u2019s historic legacy. The home where Susan B. Anthony spent her formative years has a story to tell and we want to get the home in the proper condition, so it one day is able to tell it.\u201d<br \/>\nThe stabilization project is supported by a $250,000 grant obtained by state Assembly Member Carrie Woerner and the remainder from New York Works. Support was also obtained by State Sen. Betty Little.<br \/>\nThe Battenville home was built in 1832-33 by Anthony\u2019s father who had moved the family from Adams, Mass., to manage a cotton mill on the nearby Battenkill River. At the age of 13, Susan joined the Easton Society of Friends. The Anthonys lost their home in 1839 due to financial setbacks caused by a national financial recession in 1837. The former family residence was in a state of disrepair by the time State Parks purchased it at foreclosure for $1 in 2006.<br \/>\nAnthony, who died in 1906 at age 86, worked for decades to advance women\u2019s rights, but did not live to see the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. She is buried in Rochester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, the state is involved in an effort to stabilize and preserve the childhood home of prominent 19th century women\u2019s rights activist Susan B.
