Our friends at the Cayuga Museum are celebrating their 90th anniversary with Simple Roast Coffee’s Movietone Mocha! But did you know Willard Chapel and the Cayuga Museum share a family history?

The Cayuga Museum was once the mansion of Dr. Sylvester Willard and his wife, Jane Case Willard. Their daughters, Caroline and Georgiana, inherited the family fortune and commissioned Tiffany to create the beautiful interior of Willard Chapel in memory of their parents.

The sisters later left their mansion to their cousin, Willard Case, whose son Theodore became a pioneer of sound on film technology!

October 9–11, stop by Simple Roast and grab a Movietone Mocha! 5% of all latte sales will benefit the Cayuga Museum!
