152 years ago today, Susan B. Anthony cast her vote for president. While she was arrested for illegally voting as a woman, brave women (and men) fought for years and years for the right for EVERYONE to vote as an American.

Today is your chance to put your mark on history. If you haven't voted early this year, be sure to make it to the polls today. Don't take advantage of your rights. Cast your vote for the 47th president of the United States of America.

It is no secret that Harriet Tubman called Auburn home and carried on her duties as a conductor of the Underground Railroad in the region. But you may not know that Springside Inn and the thick woods surrounding it were also storied to have hid those on their way to freedom.

At the time, the farm located along the shores of Owasco Lake was serving as a schoolhouse. Later it became a private residence before becoming a hotel welcoming guests.

Today owners Beth and Sean Lattimore maintain the home’s history through the 7-room inn and accompanying restaurant, serving as both a wedding and events venue and a Finger Lakes retreat.

On November 5, 1872, Susan B. Anthony cast her vote for president - illegally. She was arrested two weeks later in her parlor at home.

152 years later we have another November 5th presidential election, and Susan's home Susan B. Anthony Museum & House serves as the site of an early voting location in Rochester.

Read more about the history in this article from the The New York Times:

The home in Rochester, N.Y., now a museum celebrating the women’s suffrage movement, is serving as a polling place for early voters.

Another historic home from the 1800s, Tillinghast Manor Bed & Brunch offers a unique spin on the traditional bed & breakfast concept. Instead of forcing guests to adhere to an early breakfast, they embrace the comfort of sleeping in, relaxing, and dining at their leisure. Owners Mike and Jean welcome guests with local wine and indulge them in a 4-course brunch each day. The Italianate home that once slept Theodore Roosevelt has been extensively remodeled. It is located just a shot distance from over 100 wineries along with several state parks and museums.

Twenty years ago, the Ellwanger Estate alongside the Ellwanger Gardens in Rochester was in great disrepair. That was until it was discovered by United States Air Force veteran Rosemary Janofsky. Rosemary envisioned the beauty that this historic home could have once again and spent years bringing it back to life. Now the Ellwanger Estate Bed & Breakfast has 4 spacious guest rooms, each with their own theme, as well as a wrap-around veranda surrounded by acres of gardens and greenhouses.

Spotted at the The Great New York State Fair - a portrait of Harriet May Mills, in the art building named in her honor. Harriet May Mills lived in Syracuse and was an advocate for women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement.

We are so incredibly excited for the new restaurant that has opened at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse! The café, Louise, is a partnership with Danielle Mercuri Campolito from Drēmer Group (the masterminds behind Rise N Shine Diner, eatatlalalu, and LODED). Louise uses dishes from the Rosenfield Collection of functional pottery, meaning diners get to eat and drink with actual pieces of art.
