The Howlands and other area residents, inspired by Quaker values, were pioneers in pursuing abolition of slavery, voting rights for women, and education for all. The Museum is housed in the 1837 Slocum Howland Cobblestone Store and in Opendore, the 1910 Isabel Howland estate. The Museum preserves historic sites and makes archival material available for study. Exhibits and programming for all ages, often in partnership with schools and other institutions, connect the cultural heritage of Southern Cayuga County to the world of today. Its collections feature nationally significant women's suffrage campaign materials and the Gutchess women's history archive. 9 9 0 40 0 0 118269 56382 0 0 5896 6051 1 1 124166 62434 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 78385 72817 78385 72817 45781 -10383 1266603 1292039 0 0 1266603 1292039 To promote an interest in and appreciation of the cultural heritage of Southern Cayuga County 0 0 0 0 0 Development of the Opendore Property, historic home of Isabel Howland, and improvements to the Stone Store Property, historic site of Slocum Howland's business. 0 0 0 Maintain museum open to the public two days per week during summer.
