Tips from locals
Dedicated to the collection, preservation, and presentation of the history of the Chemung Valley region.
Housed in what used to be a bank in the 1800s, this is a small, sweet little museum featuring local history. Here I learned where the name Chemung comes from and what it means. There are permanent exhibits on the Native Americans, the Civil War, The Gilded Age, and Mark Twain (of course!). And the temporary exhibits are engaging.
