Members of the Woodworkers of Central New York will return to the Daniel Parrish Witter Agricultural Museum to demonstrate woodworking during the 2023 New York State Farm Show.  The Woodworkers will deviate from our "usual" demonstrations at the Museum with members using an electrified lathe and scrollsaw along with demos of hand carving, and hand tool use!  Our treadle lathe used during the NYS Fair will be there to see but not operated.

This will be the fourth year the Friends will open the Museum during the annual Farm Show.  This 92 year old building is traditionally open only during the New York State Fair.  Despite the cold, wind, and occasional snow, we expect even more visitors this year.  Many of our visitors in the past noted that they've been coming to the Fairgrounds for 50 years and never knew the building was there!  The collection curators, the Friends of the Witter Museum, continue to update the exhibits.  

Enjoy the photos galleries below.  We have galleries showing our participation in 2022, 2020, and 2019.  Also, there is a gallery showing the updated Museum and the crowds we had at times during the event.
