ROCHESTER, N.Y. — To celebrate her 205th birthday, The National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House unveiled a small restored statue of Susan B. Anthony.

Originally made back in 1896 by sculptor Bessie Potter Vonnoh, the statue was conserved by the West Lake Art Conservation Center and was unveiled on February 15 at the Carriage House.

The conservation was supported through the Bank of America Art Conservation Project grant (ACP). This grant helped to make the necessary repairs needed to the statue to help keep it in good shape.

Bank of America’s ACP program provides grants to nonprofit cultural institutions to conserve historically or culturally significant works of art. It has supported more than 261 projects across 40 countries to conserve paintings, sculptures, and archeological and architectural works.
