Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
To promote an interest in and appreciation of the cultural heritage of Southern Cayuga County
Activities or mission (Part I)
The Howland Stone Store Museum tells the story of the Sherwood Equal Rights Historic District, a crucible for reform in the century following 1830. The Howlands and other area residents, inspired by Quaker values, were pioneers in pursuing abolition of slavery, voting rights for women, and education for all. The Museum is housed in the 1837 Slocum Howland Cobblestone Store and in Opendore, the 1910 Isabel Howland estate. The Museum preserves historic sites and makes archival material available for study. Exhibits and programming for all ages, often in partnership with schools and other institutions, connect the cultural heritage of Southern Cayuga County to the world of today. Its collections feature nationally significant women's suffrage campaign materials and the Gutchess women's history archive.
-
Development of the Opendore Property, historic home of Isabel Howland, and improvements to the Stone Store Property, historic site of Slocum Howland's business.
-
Maintain museum open to the public two days per week during summer. Offer additional access by appointment and for scheduled programs.
-
Offer public programs concerning local history, the women's suffrage movement, and other topics.
-
Preserve historically significant collection materials and use them for educational purposes.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
