The Harriet May Mills House in Syracuse, NY, is a historic residence that holds significance as a National Register of Historic Places listing since 2002. Built in 1858, it was the home of abolitionists Charles de Berard Mills and Harriet Ann Mills, with their daughter Harriet May Mills later becoming a prominent figure in the women's rights movement.
Harriet May Mills was a trailblazer in advocating for women's suffrage, co-founding the Political Equality Club in 1892 and making history as the first female candidate of a major political party to run for a major statewide office in New York State in 1920. The house stands as a testament to the Mills family's dedication to social justice causes and remains a symbol of their contributions to the advancement of women's rights in America.
