Knot Sew Fast in Tompkins County
The History Center in Tompkins County kicked off their textile and fabric arts exhibit last month with beautiful quilts on display and great accompanying programs, including a "Meet the Sewing Machine" program at Tompkins County Public Library's makerspace. THC has also added another tour on PocketSights: The Southside's African-American Heritage Walking Tour.
Understanding Historic Documents in Delaware
I love this idea for an event: "Come to the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA)'s Transcription Workshop on Saturday March 11 at 2PM to learn valuable tips and tricks to reading and understanding old-fashioned handwriting." Members of the public can bring in their own materials, like ancestor's letters, and the museum's resident history educator will help decipher it.
Fashion, Jazz and Journals in Cortland
In April, Cortland County Historical Society will host a major fundraiser gala with beautiful garments and accessories on display, with a jazz ensemble playing. They also have a fun workshop planned for March, where they'll discuss journalling as a time capsule and women's contributions in particular.
Sixpence in Your Shoe in Chenango
Chenango County Historical Society has a great looking new exhibit opening next week, all about wedding traditions. We're also thrilled to hear that Zachary Greenfield, who has worked as an intern throughout the year to digitize CCHS's materials through ARPA and other grants, has been hired full time!
