On Oct. 12, in celebration of Path Through History weekend, the Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) will unveil an exhibit refresh of “Chenango County in Fifty Stories,” on display in the museum’s newly renovated upper west gallery. Transformation of the space has been made possible thanks to the Roger Follett Foundation, which has underwritten this year’s CCHS exhibition season.
Curated by CCHS Operations Manager Joe Fryc, the vibrant history of Chenango County comes to life in this exhibit, which includes unique anecdotes and artifacts of noteworthy people, places, and events. “Concealed among commonly known narratives of a community’s history lie hidden gems,” said Fryc. “This exhibit seeks to spotlight the less visible accounts that shape Chenango County. Each vignette provides a brief glimpse into an individual story. Our goal is for every visitor to leave with a new story that catches their interest and inspires them to explore further.”
Beginning at 10 a.m., commemorative activities related to the “Chenango County in Fifty Stories” exhibit refresh will take place throughout the day, including the debut of a Knuckle Down Coffee Co. blend inspired by “Old Chenango” brand coffee and an afternoon performance by the Real Time Jazz Band.
