More than an exhibition, Champions! has become Roberson’s new energetic hub of community-focused sports activity. We’ve opened our largest gallery for athletes and sports enthusiasts of all ages so that, together, we can showcase the teams and the issues that make local sports so important to our community’s cultural heritage. From stadium bleachers to a Wii, Champions! will feature plenty of fun programs.

To share the thrill of the many sports we enjoy, we must hear from YOU! If you have any idea for a sports or event themed weekend, contact us!

Our Invisible Past:
The Archaeology of Everyday Life

March-November 2010

Based on the findings of the Public Archaeology Facility at Binghamton University, this exhibition explores the artifacts found in a recent archaeological dig site in downtown Binghamton. Tools and pottery fragments dating from 2,000 years ago and unearthed 19th century household items tell stories about the lives of the Native Peoples and the families whose homes graced this site, and increase our understanding of the region’s cultural history.

Confluence:
A Tale of Two Rivers

Now until Summer 2010
Irma M. Ahearn Gallery

The longest River on the American east coast, the Susquehanna River originates in Cooperstown and runs through twenty-two counties in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, finally emptying in the Chesapeake Bay. This exhibition, focusing on the area surrounding the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers, uses the rivers as a point of orientation in interpreting the area’s history, hydrology, ecosystems, and artistic inspiration.

Against the Six Nations:
The Sullivan-Clinton Campaign of 1779

Triple Cities Gallery
Binghamton Visitor Center
Ongoing

In 1779, George Washington, Commander in Chief of the Colonial Army, ordered Generals John Sullivan and James Clinton to invade Iroquois territory in New York State. Although it saw only one pitched battle – the Battle of Newtown near Elmira- this scorched earth campaign against Native American villages and crops led to the Iroquois Confederacy’s decline in power and the loss of lands of the Six Nations.
