Renovation Project at the Geneva History Museum
April 26, 2024
The museum’s galleries are cleared out (and it’s a little eerie without the exhibits and visitors in the building). Exhibit cases, artifacts, and other items have either been relocated within the museum or moved to off-site storage. We also took this opportunity to clean out the attic.

Attic Steps at the Geneva History Museum
How items were moved from the Attic to the dumpster outside. Thank goodness for Rubbermaid tubs!
Preparing to close the museum was a major undertaking. Thank you to the staff and volunteers, especially our Archivist Becky Chapin and Curator John Marks, who helped with this project.
April 15, 2024
Beginning on April 16, the Geneva History Museum will be closed to the public for a renovation project. Chrisanntha Construction will oversee the project that will include-
- Creating a new, accessible front entrance.
- Installing an elevator, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and ADA compliant bathrooms.
- Improvements to the primary exhibit spaces.
The museum will reopen in the fall of 2024.
While museum staff will still be working in the building, during the closure the best way to contact staff is via email at info@historicgeneva.org or call 315-789-5151 Monday – Friday. Though the Research Room will be closed, research requests can be made over the phone, through social media, or via email at archivist@historicgeneva.org. For donations to Historic Geneva’s three dimensional collection email curator@historicgeneva.org or archivist@historicgeneva.org for donations to the archival collection.
