Corning at Bat Baseball Exhibit Auction

The Corning at Bat Baseball Exhibit Auction is to raise money for our non-profit organization. It's a great way for sports fans to give back and support the local history and programming to the Corning/Painted Post and Southern Tier Area, and it presents a unique opportunity for fans to have unique sporting experiences with local businesses.

The Corning Painted Post Historical Society (CPPHS) was founded in 1947 to collect local historical data, to diffuse the knowledge of local history, and to promote the (1948) centenary of the incorporation of Corning as a village. It began immediately collecting information about the community’s past.

In 1976, the Society acquired and restored as a Bicentennial project the dilapidated 1796 structure once known as the Painted Post Tavern. Located at 73 West Pulteney Street in Corning, it oversees today the Heritage Village of the Southern Finger Lakes which include the Benjamin Patterson Inn and other buildings moved to the site for restoration.

The CPPHS continues to collect local historical information and artifacts. Its place in the museum community is established, with living history programs reaching annually over 5,800 visitors.
