The museum of
abolition will be located on the second floor of the Smithfield Community Center, 5255 Pleasant Valley
Road,
Peterboro, New York, when sufficient
funds have been raised. A museum campaign commenced in 2007.
In March 2005
the Upstate Institute arranged for The Exhibition Alliance to meet with the
Cabinet of Freedom to consult on exhibit development. The museum committee, led by Dr.
Milton C. Sernett, professor emeritus Syracuse University, has created a
design for the first museum installation. This initial exhibit will provide visual, audio,
tactile, and electronic interactive opportunities to engage the visitor to understand the
evolution of the abolition movement from Colonial America to the period after the Civil
War.
