Yates
County

Yates County
through museum exhibits and hands-on programs.
Fund raisers are held throughout the year that are educational, fun and supportive of the
Center's programs. To register or for more information regarding an event, please call 315.536.7318.
All of our programs are open to members and the general public. Check
