“Preventorium Building” Historic Marker Unveiling at the Cayuga Nature Center

The public is invited to hear about the role this building played in supporting  a program run by volunteers and public health authorities to combat Tuberculosis when that disease was endemic in Tompkins County in the first half of the 1900’s; and how the building has been used since.  Join us for short talks, music, refreshments, and warming libations before the unveiling of a historic marker secured by the Town of Ulysses through a grant provided by the William J. Pomeroy Foundation.
