CNY Living History Center — Attraction in Town of Cortlandville

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Central New York Living History Center. We visited the Museum as Guest of the Harvest Hosts Program. The staff members were incredibly kind, helpful and accomodating. We had an unfortunate incident as we arrived when my daughter slipped on the steps of our RV and sprained her ankle pretty badly. They were very understanding and helpful and gave us advice where we could seek medical attention. The next morning My daughter was feeling better, and the museum had several loaner wheelchairs of all types that we could borrow to visit the museum. The museum is very interesting and the docents were very enthusiastic and knowledgable. I never knew about the great history of Brockway trucks. We also learned a great deal about the local history of Cortland and Hober as well as about Fire Trucks and Fire Fighters in general. Unfortunatly the Agriculture museum was closed due to a power failure. On Fri and Sat they have a fund raiser rummage sale, and we were able to pick up a few needed items For our RV and a few gifts. A really wonderful experience overall Thank You every one there for being so kind and...

Where to start, the Homeville portion of the museum is awesome, all the military history you can absorb starting from the Revolution to Afghanistan, great exhibits of Central New York veterans, Also a HUGE steam train replica coming through the wall, amazing detail and lots of fun. The Brockway truck exhibits are one of a kind, really enjoyed the restored old trucks!! The Tractors of Yesteryear (TOYS) venue was great fun and brought back great memories of rural life in upstate NY from the earliest tractors to tractors from the 60's......this place was great fun and a worthwhile stop on our trip through upstate...

This museum is a “hidden gem” that I just found about. I took my wife and 10 year old son there last weekend and their military display is top notch. Not to mention all of the local history of the area that I never knew about. It was also pretty cool seeing all the different Brockway trucks. Can’t wait to go back when they switch them out. Their fire/rescue building is amazing as well. If you live in CNY or heck even if you’re just driving through on 81 and looking for a cool place to stop THIS IS IT! We will...
