We love how our space Tompkins Center for History & Culture transforms for different community events!

This was our first sports banquet, but we'd love to host more! Please reach out to [email protected] if you're interested in hosting an event at the Tompkins Center!

Wow! Look at how Bank Alley has changed over the last 50 years!

THROWBACK THURSDAY!

Construction of the Ithaca Commons began in June, 1974. While it was considered “open” by the fall of that year, construction didn’t finish until 1975. This image was taken after the formal opening and shows the Tompkins Trust bank (formerly the Tompkins County Trust Company) on the right. That building is now home to The History Center in Tompkins County Archives & Exhibit Hall!

View more of our 100,000+ photograph collection at thehistorycenter.net/photographs or schedule a visit to our Research Library to explore in person.
