Geneva Historical Society Seeks Community Images
In November 2020, the Geneva Historical Society asked community members to submit photos which represented what Geneva is to them and explain why in a few sentences. These images and text were the basis for the My Geneva Is… exhibit which recently closed at the Geneva History Museum. In this next edition of this project, the Historical Society is asking for photos and captions based on homes.
In an effort to expand its photograph collection, the Historical Society invites all Genevans, current and former, to submit photos of houses around Geneva from any time period and explain in just a few sentences what that house means to them. It doesn’t have to be a person's own home; it could be a dream home or a house that catches the eye.
These submissions will become part of the My Geneva Is...Home Edition exhibit to open in fall of 2021. Submitted photos and stories will be added to the permanent photograph collection. Please send photos and captions to Becky Chapin at archivist@genevahistoricalsociety.com. Call 315-789-5151 or email Becky for more information or with any questions about the project.
The deadline for submissions is August 15, 2021.
The Geneva Historical Society is located at 543 South Main Street. Summer hours are Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is a suggested donation of $3. Parking is available on the street or in the lot at Trinity Episcopal Church.
