remembering the past
N-AHS’s current exhibit “Hometown Grown: 200 Years of Agriculture” will continue through the next two Saturdays, 5/22 & 5/29. Hours are 1-3 p.m.
From the Newark Fair to Newark Nurseries, Edgett-Burnham Canning Co. to Farm Tools, this exhibit empasses quite a lot with a large number of items to see. Make sure to view it while you can!
The exhibit may be viewed during the week simply by calling 315-331-6409 and arranging an appointment or use the Contact form.
The initial shock has passed and now we cautiously go about our business with an eye towards avoiding contagion. We hope you are bearing up well. Since we have ceased our activities and the museum is closed, we are offering two new columns to keep you in touch with our mission of curating artifacts and promoting local history.
Chris’s and John’s columns can be accessed through the “Interesting Reading” links at the top right of this page (or possibly below if you are using a small screen). We’ll keep updating as we go along. We hope you find it enjoyable.
It will soon be the time of year when we begin to prepare the 2019-2020 Main Exhibit for its unveiling in June. So there are only a few weeks left to view the current Jackson & Perkins exhibit. This amazing exhibit closes after museum hours on Sat. May 4th.
It encompasses the entire spectrum of the world famous company with the largest gardens in the world. Come see depictions of the Rose Festival with it’s parades and rose queen & princess contests. There are also beautiful catalogs dating back to 1928, rose wall charts and so much more!
The museum is open Saturdays, 1-3 p.m. We will gladly open other times — just give a call at 315-331-6409 or use the contact form.
