"The Counties of New York State: A Historical Journey" is an invitation to explore our sixty-two counties' foundational beginnings, defining milestones, and their continued roles in shaping the state's history and modern life. From the bustling streets of Manhattan to the islands and shorelines of rivers and lakes to the pastoral landscapes of upstate, each county has contributed to New York's development, culture, and identity. Organized into the state's ten distinct economic regions and four core themes of Colonial Foundations, Economic Expansion, Modern Integration, and Counties Today, this exhibition celebrates how our counties have shaped life in New York, past and present.
