Chemung County Historical Society

The Chemung County Historical Society will create planning documents for its new permanent exhibit titled, "Youth in Chemung County." The exhibit will explore life in Chemung County and look at the passage of time through the eyes of young people growing up in the area. The museum will reach out to various groups in the community that are currently underrepresented in its collection, especially the local African American community and new immigrants from Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. The final result will be a new exhibit built with strong and broad community input and better connections to previously underrepresented groups.
