About Anthony Square in Rochester

Susan B. Anthony Square Park is a small urban park located in Rochester, New York. The park is in close proximity to the Susan B. Anthony House, a National Historic Landmark. The park serves as a tribute to two prominent historical figures from Rochester: Susan B. Anthony, a leading figure in the women's suffrage movement, and Frederick Douglass, an influential abolitionist.

The centerpiece of the park is a bronze sculpture titled "Let's Have Tea," created by local artist Pepsy Kettavong. Installed in 2001, the sculpture depicts Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass seated at a table, engaged in conversation over tea. This artwork symbolizes the friendship and shared goals of these two civil rights pioneers, who both lived in Rochester during the 19th century.

The park, while modest in size at less than an acre, provides a quiet space for reflection and relaxation in the heart of the city. It serves as a gathering place for community events and a stop for visitors exploring Rochester's rich history in the women's rights and abolitionist movements.
