The Cayuga Museum of History and Art and Case Research Lab Historic Site
The Cayuga Museum campus operates in three buildings: the mansion, the Case Research Laboratory, and the carriage house. The mansion is home to several changing exhibits each year as well as a permanent exhibit about Auburn Correctional Facility. The Case Research Laboratory is the home of talking movies, where Theodore Case invented the first commercially successful system of sound on film, which visitors can now explore on a guided tour to learn about the history of sound film. The carriage house is a recently renovated multi-purpose space used for museum and community events.Discover how to plan a Auburn trip in just a few steps with Inspirock's itinerary builder.
Our mission is to provide a forum for the public to realize, interact with and appreciate Cayuga County’s shared past and unfolding present to help shape a better future.

There was no AC in this building on a very hot day. Wearing masks made this experience brutal. I support masks, it was just so hot in this old building. We were also very confused with the exhibits. There seemed to be no order with how the museum was set up. One section we were checking out the early Physicians in NY then going to the Space Challenger mission then to the historical Auburn prison system. Very odd set up. There was a lot of great information and amazing artifacts.
