NORWICH ― The Museum District in the City of Norwich will be celebrating the second annual Museums and More Day on Saturday, October 12 with a variety of historical programming. The event is hosted by the Friends of the Museum District on Rexford Street.
The Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS), the Northeast Classic Car Museum (NECCM), and the Bullthistle Model Railroad Society will all be open to the public and will each have something unique for visitors to enjoy.
"The whole thing is a group effort. It’s the whole district," said Museums and More Day Organizer John Antonowicz. "No other town has a museum district like we do ... It’s just to celebrate what we have here in Norwich."
The Northeast Classic Car Museum, located at 24 Rexford Street, will kick off the day's festivities with the last Cars and Coffee Cruise In from 8 to 9:15 a.m. Parking for the event will be in the parking lot across the street from the museum.

The NECCM will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with regular admission prices for the museum. Visitors can check out the museum's variety of exhibits, including pre- and post-war vehicles, Fabulous Franklins, Made in New York, Vintage Motorcycles, WWI and WWII Airplane Engines, Tribute to Bennett-Ireland, and Back to the 80s.
