Corning-Painted Post Historical Society & Heritage Village of the Southern Finger Lakes

We are the area's premiere living history museum where community members and visitors are able to experience valuable connections to history through our educational programs and exhibits, historic buildings, archival collections, and experiential learning opportunities.

We welcome over 5,000 students, community members, and tourists to Heritage Village each year. Within our archives, we preserve over 19,000 documents, photos, and artifacts from Corning's and Painted Post's past.

Maintaining our mission takes a strong commitment and hard work from staff, volunteers, and members - and of course, generous supporters like you. Thank you for being part of our community.

Who We Are

The Corning Painted Post Historical Society shall preserve and share our area's history through educational programming and exhibits, building preservation, archival collections, and experiential learning.
