Women’s rights activist and Rochester icon Susan B. Anthony turns 200 today.

More than 1,200 gathered at the Riverside Convention Center to celebrate her birthday at an early celebration on Wednesday.

But with 2020 also coinciding with the 100th year of the 19th amendment and the 75th year of the Anthony Museum, the celebration is only beginning. Events will be taking place all year.

The National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House will be closed today in her honor.
