In Focus: Looking Back Forty Years

Join Eastman Legacy Curator Kathy Connor for a look back at how the George Eastman (House) Museum has changed over the years. Connor will discuss why the Discovery Room moved four times, how the mansion was meticulously restored, and how a two-story hole in the garden was dug to construct the Archives/1989 building. See photos and hear stories about some of Connor’s favorite exhibits and programs that she worked on over the years. Believe it or not, Connor arranged for a cow to be brought to the front lawn of the mansion and visitors were able to pet and milk the cow as part an exhibit. A number of artifacts, programs, and brochures will also be on display in the Multipurpose Hall to showcase some of the many fundraisers and special events held at the museum.
