The core of the center is a collection of Civil War, WWI, and WWII artifacts donated by the family of Ken Eaton, a local man, who started collecting as a teenager. His collection grew so large that he established a free museum in his home, which he operated for 30 years.
The center includes two more buildings with exhibits of Brockway trucks which were made in Cortland, New York from 1912-1977, and a collection antique farm equipment.
All of the buildings are accessible. The Brockway building has a lift to the second floor exhibits. The farm museum has a dangerously steep ramp to the second level.
The parking lot is large enough for any vehicle. This is a Harvest Hosts site so it's a nice place to stop while traveling.

That's a nice looking collection!
ReplyDeleteMr Eaton spent a lot of time gathering everything - large and small. We probably didn't spend enough time to do justice to it.
