With 2023 marking 200 years since Yates County was formed out of Ontario County and established as a separate county, the Yates County History Center has installed an exhibit that pays tribute to the county’s places and people during its bicentennial year.
The new exhibit, “Yates 200: Exploring Two Centuries of Yates County History,” commemorates the county’s bicentennial through artwork that interprets and depicts the history of each of the nine towns in Yates County. The exhibit is situated in the gallery of the L. Caroline Underwood Museum, which is located at 107 Chapel St. in Penn Yan.
The Yates County History Center is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
