Cayuga Museum of History and Art

More info

The Cayuga Museum of History and Art (commonly called the Cayuga Museum) was founded in 1936. The Cayuga Museum operates through three buildings- the Willard-Case mansion where guests can view rotating and permanent displays of local art and the history of Cayuga County, the Case Research Lab with a permanent exhibit of the workings of Theodore Case’s 20th century laboratory, and the Carriage House Theater, a renovated 1850s carriage house which now operates as a multi-arts space. In 1936, Theodore Case and his wife, Gertrude, gave their estate at 203 Genesee Street to Professor Walter Long for use as a museum. The original plan for the Museum was to serve as a civic center for the cultural groups of the city of Auburn. Activities were broad based and fell into four categories: Art, History, Music, and Children’s programs.
