1 Central marker of the Anthony plot gives precedence to the names of other family members. 2 Susan B. Anthony's white headstone occupies the foreground in this image. The darker gray family monument can be seen behind it at center. 3 Susan B. Anthony's personal headstone. It is only marginally easier to read in real life than it is in this picture. 4 This view, looking west from the Anthony family plot, captures the ripe Victorian grandeur of Rochester's Mount Hope Cemetery.

Susan B. Anthony was interred in Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester's premier memorial park. Anthony reposes beneath a rather modest white marker on a family plot; the marker has suffered from weathering and is somewhat difficult to read. The grave can be found in Section C, Plot 93; several helpful markers guide visitors from the cemetery's internal thoroughfare, Linden Avenue.

Anthony's grave and that of her fellow abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, are the two most-visited sites in this picturesque Victorian cemetery.
