The Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) is the primary organization dedicated to actively and comprehensively preserving the history of Chenango County. We celebrate the culture of the region – its unique traditions, noteworthy residents, and unusual stories. Museum visitors are immersed in the center of the county’s past through exhibits exploring the rich history of our local heritage.

Since our founding, CCHS has collected a wide range of information and objects directly related to the preservation of community history. Many of these artifacts are displayed in both permanent and rotating exhibits. Unique to our collection are the complete company archives from the world-famous Norwich Pharmacal Company, inventors of Pepto-Bismol, and precursor to Proctor & Gamble. Other noteworthy industrial objects include artifacts from Borden Dairy Company, Golden Artist Colors, Hayes Piano Forte Manufactory, Lyon Iron Works and the Raymond Corporation, and the Maydole Hammer Factory.
