New Exhibit Explores Geneva Food and Drink
Geneva, N.Y.: Historic Geneva opens the new exhibit Eat, Drink and Be Merry: Food and Beverages in Geneva at the Geneva History Museum on Friday, June 4, 2022. The exhibit explores Geneva's agricultural production, cultural food traditions, and retail food businesses in the past and present.
The story begins with native Seneca farming practices and the early village's connection to transportation networks and extends through the arrival of contemporary upscale restaurants, wineries, and distilleries. It looks at local canning and beverage production, as well as immigrant food traditions and the diversity of dining options over 200 years.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry will be on display at the museum through spring 2023. For more information, call the Historic Geneva office at 315-789-5151 or visit historicgeneva.org.
The Geneva History Museum is owned and operated by Historic Geneva, formerly the Geneva Historical Society. Historic Geneva tells the stories of Geneva, New York at the Geneva History Museum, Rose Hill Mansion, and Johnston House, and online at historicgeneva.org.
