Exhibit Opening - reCOUNT: Facing our Census

After a two week hiatus, we are thrilled to welcome everyone back to the Exhibit Hall for opening weekend of our new exhibit reCOUNT: Facing our Census. 

Using themes such as education, family origins, employment, race, and census taking, reCOUNT expands Tompkins County history through six interactive exhibits. Beginning with the first U.S. Census in 1790, the exhibits will trace the development of the county and the census across 23 decades. reCOUNT will inform our understanding of Tompkins County, and position audiences to think critically about local history’s impact on our lives.

Opens Friday April 1st from 10am-8pm. Evening opening will happen in tandem with First Friday Gallery Night throughout Downtown Ithaca.
