The Creamery, a vital part of late 19th–:early 20th century agriculture and commerce, centralized milk processing. In the early 1990s the Skaneateles Historical Society restored this important period structure as a local museum with space for artifacts, historical research, records and archives. The building to the right served as the boiler plant for the Creamery. Auxiliary buildings were located between the two.
The Present —
Today the Creamery is one of Skaneateles’s primary culural centers, housing a growing local history museum, busy community room and facilities for research, care of records and archives, as well as the site of monthly programs of local historic interest, The boiler plant became a residence with an added garage. The buildings between the Creamery and the boiler plant were demolished.
The Future —
The new museum expansion will incorporate the former boiler plant to feature the Boat/Transportation Museum. The two buildings will be connected by a wing adjacent to Skaneateles Creek. A small addition will be built at the northeast corner of the Creamery. These much needed additional spaces will enhance community research and records areas, and an income-generating museum shop to help support the facility.
