Discovering local history
AUBURN - Judith Bryant stared at the photograph of the light gray house where she lives on Garrow Street - it is the house where her mother was born, and the house where her grandmother had lived and cared for Harriet Tubman.
The photograph is one of many on display at The Cayuga Museum of History and Art's exhibit, “Seeking Freedom: Portraits of the Freedom Trail in Auburn and Cayuga County.” The exhibit, which officially opens today, celebrates the culmination of a year-long historical probe of the Freedom Trail in the area.
“I was surprised by the large number of buildings, houses and people that were identified in Cayuga County as being part of this network,” said Bryant, who attended a Friday night preview of the exhibit.
