HistoryForge: Mapping Cortland's Past

HistoryForge is for the curious- it is for the genealogist that wants a step back in time into the world of their ancestors; it is for the new homeowner that wishes that walls could talk and tell the stories they were witness to; it is for the nostalgic who want to walk down memory lane; it is for the history-lover that would like to explore more about Cortland’s past!

 CCHS Collections & Research Assistant, Sophie Welburn will demonstrate how and why to use this interactive research tool! An important part of the mission of the Cortland County Historical Society is education, and CCHS Lunch & Learn programs are a way for us to connect our community to local and regional history. Lunch & Learn programs are free and open to the public to align with our goal of sharing history more widely.

Please bring your own lunch if you wish, and we'll provide a beverage and dessert. All Lunch & Learn programs take place at our event space at 9 Grace Street, Cortland. If the parking lot is full, please park on either Jewett Avenue or Grace Street, across from our building. We're looking forward to having you join us! If you have any questions before the day of this event, please call us at 607-756-6071.
