Agnes and the Antis Tour
June 13, 2017, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
This year marks the centennial of women getting the right to vote in New York State. However, a century ago not all women wanted the vote and many opposed the passage of the suffrage amendment to the New York State Constitution. Among them was Agnes Swan Hutchins (1864-1951) who served as the President of the Geneva Auxiliary of the New York Association Opposed to Suffrage.
Born and raised at Rose Hill, how did Agnes become an anti-suffragist? During the tour visitors will explore the life and times of Agnes and come to understand why she (and other women) became “antis.”
Agnes and the Antis tour is not the same as the regular tour of Rose Hill Mansion. The tour is an hour long and is included in regular admission. As space is limited, reservations are required and they may be made by calling Rose Hill Mansion at 315-789-3848.
