The History Center Presents: Out Upon Cayuga's Waters-- 100 years of life on the lake

The History Center Presents: Out Upon Cayuga's Waters-- 100 Years of Life on the Lake
June 16th through October 2009
Cayuga Lake, the longest of New York's Finger Lakes, lies at the heart of Tompkins County. More than 38 miles long and 3-1/2 miles wide at its widest point, Cayuga Lake is famous for its beauty, and for the gently rolling lands surrounding it.

Commercial boating thrived here since the early 19th century as steamboats and ferryboats traveled the lake, and recreational and competitive boating and swimming have brought fun and prosperity to lakeside communities.

Opening on June 16th, this new exhibit uses artifacts and images to depict the commerce and sport, the swimmers, and the steamboats that have made lake life rich and rewarding. See early 20th century bathing suits, images of 1980s crew races, and a replica of the famous Frontenac, the magnificent Cayuga Lake steamboat that came to so tragic an end.

Out Upon Cayuga's Waters: 100 Years of Life on the Lake will be on view at the History Center from June 16th through October 2009, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm.

Location: The History Center
401 East State Street, Ithaca, New York
In the Gateway Center, one block east of The Commons
