Our Vision

Rooted in a rich and diverse history, the Chemung County Historical Society will become the primary center of community expertise on local history and preservation and a catalyst for tourism and experiential education.

Our Mission

The Chemung County Historical Society seeks to deepen our audiences understanding of the past and the role of history in our futures. To achieve this the Society uses diverse and evolving collections to engage audiences through interactive and dynamic exhibits and educational programs, community outreach and partnerships, publications and research services. We believe these efforts will provide a better appreciation of our community and our place in state and national history.
