There is still time to join us for our Fenton Virtual Winter Paint Night tonight! The museum is closed for cleaning, but we are still here and can get you your paint kit so you can join us!

Thank you to the Chautauqua Regional Youth Ballet for your loan of costumes for the 2020 holiday exhibit. Here is a walk through if you were unable to visit us in person this holiday season, or would simply like to see it again. #MuseumFromHome

The WNY History Podcast debuts its 10th episode this week, with a subject that connects to the current moment - one of the most famous riots in Chautauqua County history! Listen and learn about how events in the 1830s lead hundreds of Chautauqua County residents to rise up in a destructive protest, which was followed by months of local mayhem. The WNY History Podcast is co-hosted by Jason Sample, a Trustee of the Chautauqua County Historical Society and Public Affairs Director at WRFA; Ashley Senske, a Trustee of the Fenton History Center, the Jamestown City Historian, and Collections Coordinator at the National Comedy Center; and Noah Goodling, the Executive Director of the Fenton History Center. All ten episodes of the podcast are available for free on WRFA's SoundCloud page. https://soundcloud.com//wny-history-podcast-ep-10-the-chau
