Rochester, N.Y.—— The Susan B. Anthony House, Rochester’s first National Historic Landmark, announces new expanded hours for public tours, beginning May 29, 2007 and extending throughout the year. The House will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guided tours begin on the hour and half hour and are approximately one hour in length. The last tour of the day begins at 4 p.m.
The new hours will remain in effect after Labor Day. In previous years, the House reduced hours and days for public tours after Labor Day.
