Are You as Fascinated About
the History of Your Home as We Are?

The HistoryForge project is a major initiative of The History Center in Tompkins County. They’ve created a unique way to visualize the history of this community in the early 1900s by combining historical maps and photos with census records of the people who lived in Ithaca and Tompkins County between 1880 and 1950. We recommend exploring this tool.
