History Day: Introduction and Remembering the "Spanish" Influenza Epidemic
Welcome one and all to the Cayuga Museum’s new, all digital “Museum in Exile” program. Every Monday, we will explore our art collection. On Wednesday, we will take a look at local history and find interesting snapshots into our relevant past. Finally, on Friday, we will be posting blog entries on our website detailing some of the ways the staff, board, and our families are keeping busy while in quarantine (more information on the blogs will be available this Friday). This program will ensure that, while our doors are closed, your community museum is still doing our part to present the fascinating history and culture of Cayuga County.
Kicking off our first history day, let’s take a look back over 100 years ago to the last American pandemic, the dreaded yet forgotten “Spanish” Influenza of 1918. An estimated 675,000 people died (5% of the population) in the U.S. from flu in the fall of 1918 and winter of 1919. Go to our website and see what an article in the Auburn Citizen had to say about the eerily familiar disease: http://cayugamuseum.org/museum-in-exile-quarantine-programming/.

Museum at Home Interactive Blog Day: #exhibitme Challenge
We are living in an extraordinary moment in history. We are seeing first hand the ways that society can shift so quickly to adapt with modern circumstances.
Every Friday of our Museum in Exile Program is Interactive Blog Day, a program called Museum at Home! We will recount stories and photos of our staff and board member’s personal experiences while in quarantine, and invite audiences to join us in the various interactive challenges we come up with to entertain ourselves at home. All experiences that are shared with us will then be saved in our digital archive so that we can build a collection of individual accounts from the Covid-19 pandemic for the use of future historians.
Kicking off our Museum at Home blog activity, we invite audiences to create their own exhibits at home!
