#4 - LILLEY LEAF COLLECTION

This exhibit was collected and assembled by A.T. Lilley, LeRoy, in 1908. This cabinet contains leaves from all trees native to Bradford County. The panels within the cabinet were attached to strings that when pulled moved each panel to show different plants and other specimen. Lilley, a past president of the Bradford County Historical Society, was a geologist and used this collection to educate museum visitors about the county’s natural resources.

Visit the Bradford County Historical Society Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm to see this and hundreds of other local history pieces.
