Immerse yourself in the center of Chenango County’s past through exhibits exploring the rich history of the local region. The primary organization dedicated to actively and comprehensively preserving the history of Chenango County, the Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) celebrates local culture – unique traditions, noteworthy residents, and unusual stories.
 

Established in 1939, CCHS received an absolute charter in 1956, and opened Ward School No. 2 as a museum in 1962. The museum campus has expanded over the years, adding the one-room Ross Schoolhouse (Preston),the Loomis Barn (Tyner), and the Chenango Canal building - home to packet boat model the “Lillie.”
 

CCHS hosts a variety of community events throughout the year and offers a wide-range of interactive educational programs. The Museum Shop features unique items and local titles.
 

Museum hours are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 am until 4 pm. Admission is a free-will donation.
