Cortland County Historical Society – Centennial Spectacular Open House

The Cortland County Historical Society is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a Centennial Spectacular Open House! A charming museum, incredible research center, interactive children’s room, and  compact gift shop are all housed in a modest 1882 historic home with a 1970s addition which was designed by renowned architect Werner Seligman. 

Nestled in a residential area in the city of Cortland, CCHS is the best kept secret in Cortland County, and now is the perfect opportunity to find out what you’ve been missing! 

• Learn more about Cortland County and its contributions to national history when you wander through several new exhibits in the Suggett House Museum. Wait until you see the fascinating Carpenter exhibit!
• Discover the kinds of research materials available in the Kellogg Memorial Research Center that can get you started working on your own family tree! 
• Let your kids explore life from 100-200 years ago in a child sized log cabin and bakery designed especially for kids in the Then & Now Children’s Room. They won’t want to go home!
• Find the perfect gift for the history buff on your list at the CCHS gift shop. Choose from an assortment of books featuring local and regional history, a cozy Cortland County coverlet, a tote featuring artwork by local artist Molly Reagan, and more!

For 100 years, we have been the memory bank of Cortland County, and we are looking forward celebrating this important milestone with you. For more information, please call 607-756-6071 or email us at info@cortlandhistory.org.
