The History Center in Tompkins County

Our tour begins at The History Center in Tompkins County, located in the Gateway Center, a 1925 warehouse later converted into offices. The History Center displays a permanent collection, presents unique exhibits, houses archives, and is a space for community members and students to research local history. The Center also has an active interest in preserving and developing local historic resources for education and enjoyment and is a partner with Historic Ithaca in the Ithaca Heritage project.
