In this new, recurring section, we'll be highlighting memorable recent tours. 

A freshman group from Hamilton College really got into the spirit of the Gage Center. Said one Hamilton student, "I was already excited about attending Hamilton, but I had no clue the area has so much history! And how had we never learned about Gage before? She's amazing! This has been so inspiring and eye-opening...I hope I can visit again soon." We hope to see them again, too. The enthusiasm of groups like these reminds us of the impact Gage's legacy can have.

 

Hold a piece of history in your hands! 

The Gage Center is excited to present "Women on the Money," a unique look at women's history through the lens of ancient 

currencies. While the idea of a woman on modern US currency has been met with controversy, ancient societies granted this honor to a host of fascinating women. From Cleopatra to the  (now) little known wives of emperors, each influential woman remains an enduring symbol of her society. Discover what a simple piece of currency can tell us about the woman it features and the civilization in which she lived. 

A hands-on show-and-tell, as well as a discussion of the #womenon20s campaign, will follow the presentation. Eight ancient coins will be featured.  Click for more info.

Thank you to the Brockway Farms Garden Club for our beautiful new shasta daisies! The donation was made in memory of Eleanor "Ellie" Dutch, a longtime member of the club who always loved the shasta's cheerful blooms.
