An important part of our mission at the
Yates
County
History Center is to inform the public about the history of
Yates County
through museum exhibits and hands-on programs.
Fund raisers are held throughout the year that are educational, fun and supportive of the
Center's programs. To register or for more information regarding an event, please call 315.536.7318.
All of our programs are open to members and the general public. Check
out what's going on at the History Center! |
