*New Exhibit 1) “Proof Positive: Wine, Beer, and Spirits of Cayuga County”, will explore the history of how wine, beer, cider and spirits are made in Cayuga County. Visitors to the exhibit will explore the history, the process, and the impact of the alcoholic beverage industry, while enjoying a free tasting from Lunkenheimer Craft Brewing Company!
