TCHS changes exhibits in two of our galleries 2-3 times a year. The remaining galleries are host to several “permanent items” that can be enjoyed whenever you stop by the museum. Many of these items have a rich history and have been local favorites for some time. 

View our upcoming exhibits to see what we have scheduled!

Current Exhibits:

Now he Belongs to the Ages: The Lincoln Portrait, Matthew Brady, Benjamin Loring, and Tioga
County in the Civil War

The exhibit in the Green Gallery follows several themes all based around the portrait
of Lincoln done in the studios of Brady in 1861 and follows the story through Lincoln’s assassination, Loring’s
participation in helping the mortally wounded president and this county’s role in the great conflict.

Farm to Fabric

A wonderful display in the Main Gallery of the homespun textiles in the first part of
the nineteenth century with a timber frame loom, a coverlet made in 1800 and our own version of a peddler’s
wagon, and much more.

Remember Earth Day: 1970-2025

On its 55th anniversary, this exhibit in the lower-level West Gallery
focuses on its history and its relevance to today and our throw away society and its effect on climate change. A
very pertinent exhibit.

level
