Time and Tradition

A Free Travelling Exhibit Curated by the Public Archaeology Facility

Time and Tradition is a professionally designed educational exhibit, created in collaboration with archaeologists from Binghamton University’s Anthropology Department, and professional designers from the Roberson Museum in Binghamton. This colorful display uses a time-line as an organizational device to walk visitors through 15,000 years of Native American history in New York State. The exhibit draws on text, illustrations, and Native American artifacts to illustrate segments of the past. Artifacts are secured in museum quality display cases that are tamper-resistant.

The Time and Tradition exhibit can be enjoyed by children, teens, and adults. This exhibit is an educational tool that can supplement existing school curricula in Social Studies, History, Science, and English.


Exhibits include information about:

Native American History
Native American Tradition and Culture
Clay and Stone Tool Technologies
Economy and Environment
