News from the Director

2021…what a year it has been! Beginning the year with the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were happy and fortunate to open fully this year. We here at the Walter Elwood have had a successful year full of changes and challenges, as everyone else has experienced as well.

We were blessed to be able to have three weeks of fun and successful camps for kids this summer and look forward to our fall and winter break camps. We are hoping to add more to our schedule for the upcoming year!

We thankfully had a successful Summer Ice Cream Social in early August thanks to our summer youth crew that assisted us with putting on a wonderful event! Thanks to our Summer Youth crew, we were able to get the Museum ready for the fall and winter season.

Museum Talk Weekends have resumed, and we have wonderful speakers planned for this Fall. We plan to add more dates in the future. See inside for the schedule of speakers and dates.

Do not miss our Annual Holiday Open House tentatively scheduled to be held on Saturday December 4^th from 1-4pm for a tour, festive music, and holiday crafts.

Lastly, we were lucky to have our collections interns Austin Oliver and Tyr Morford back again this summer due to the generosity of Dave Northrup, Joan and Bill Brodsky, and Janet Hayes. Austin and Tyr worked tirelessly accessioning donated artifacts, archives, updating signage, renovating our exhibits, dressing many new mannequins we acquired this spring and adding new donations to our current collection.

The Museum has reopened per NYS COVID-19 guidelines.  Please sign in for contact trancing and practice respectful social distancing with others in the exhibit rooms. We have limited hours of 10-3pm each weekday currently. Come visit us again soon!!
