Tioga County museum looks to a brighter future with $2.2M campaign

It has been a year of extraordinary bright lights for this writer as the executive director of the Tioga County Historical Society. I am so proud of our staff and cadre of volunteers who, once again, helped create some wonderful exhibits that were all tied into the 250th anniversary of the United States and Tioga County history. Each day, I would walk through the museum, turning on all the lights and marveling at the artifacts that would take the visitor back to the time of the indigenous people and carry them forward to today’s world. They shone a bright light on the rich history of all the communities that make up this county. During this time, the board of trustees of the Society voted upon my urging to begin a capital campaign to build additions to the museum building that would allow us to move our collections to the upper level – well above the September 2011 flood levels that had devastated the collections and research center. Using movable shelving on two sides of the building would allow for better climate control and protection of those items. However, all of this is expensive. Attempts had been made before, and those

Southern Tier trails are a gem. Summit aims to take them to next level

A day-long Southern Tier Greenways Planning Summit, hosted by Parks & Trails New York, took stock of the greenway trail plans already in motion across the region and tackled what it will take to link them into a connected regional network. The event, held Nov. 5 at the Corning Museum of Glass, focused on the eight-county Southern Tier Regional Economic Development region, which includes Steuben, Schuyler, Chemung, Tompkins, Tioga, Broome, Chenango and Delaware counties. The event paired project updates from local and regional partners with hands-on working sessions on the challenges and opportunities ahead. Kamala Keeley, President of Three Rivers Development Corporation, said trails, waterways and parks aren't amenities on the side; they're part of what makes a region a place people choose to build a life. “When our employers recruit engineers, nurses, and skilled trades, candidates want to know what life looks like outside of work," Keeley said. "Every connected mile of trail strengthens our answer, and it helps us keep the talented people who are already here.” Keeley said the Southern Tier is losing population, particularly residents who are between 25 and 44 years old.
