History Center in Tompkins County's Generation to Generation Initiative
Last spring The History Center in Tompkins County conducted a successful pilot program pairing teens and elders in Tompkins County to archive local histories. We are looking for interested teens and elders for this year's Gen to Gen program, which will take place from March through May. This year we will explore place names and to some extent Women's Suffrage. If you would enjoy sharing your life experiences and wisdom with a high school student, and have lived a significant portion of your life in Tompkins County, this is the program for you! If you are a local teen who would like to know more about the history of Ithaca and Tompkins County from those who have lived it, this is the program for you!
For more information and to find out how you can participate, contact Carole West, Youth Education Director, at 607 273 8284 X229 or eightsquare@thehistorycenter.net
