The Cayuga Museum's full title is the Cayuga Museum of History and Art and Case Research Lab Museum. It is a local history museum, exploring the Cayuga County's history from prehistoric times to the present, and a museum dedicated to the Theodore Willard Case, the man who invented the first commercially successful system of recording sound on film. The museum is comprised of the Willard-Case Mansion and two other buildings, the Theater Mack and the former Case Research Lab. The mansion features the local history exhibits as well as displays of fine collections. The theater was Case's former film studio, and the former lab contains his equipment and archives (complete lab notebooks, volumes of technical drawings and photographs, extensive business and personal correspondence, manuscripts and reports, and numerous other items that once belonged to Case). The mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
