To save the Cortland Museum and contents from auction, a small group of citizens began to raise money and took out a loan to buy the museum in December of 2022. After months of cleaning and repairing the inside and outside of the museum, a grand opening was held in October of 2023. Since then, the Cortland Museum Board has restored the original kitchen for an exhibit room and opened a Research/Library room for the public.

We are raising money to put siding on the building and for new exhibits. We started in 2024 to raise money for the siding, but still need $5,000.00 to make our goal. We are also adding new exhibits for the 2025 Cortland Once in a Blue Moon Fall Festival.
