The Corning-Painted Post Historical Society is announcing the opening of two new exhibits open now until the end of June.

The first exhibit is in our small collections case in the new Patterson Inn Welcome Center and gift shop. It features a display of cast iron still banks, including fifteen buildings of various types and ten figural banks – people and animals and one safe. The banks were produced from the late 1800's to 1949. This collection is presented by Sheri Golder, CPPHS President. Please stop in our Welcome Center and gift shop at 73 W. Pulteney St. to see this wonderful little collection.

Another new exhibit is in the Palace Theater lobby on Market St. Please stop in and see our newest exhibit space featuring items from the Corning-Painted Post Historical Society's clothing collection. The first exhibit is a wonderful assortment of hats collected by Dorothy Ann Bullock, the hats date to the early 1940s. If you are going to the movies make sure to look for this exhibit.
