Standing since 1852, “Old Sem” is the very first building of Cornell College—constructed with timber ferried along the Mississippi and hauled by oxen. Though classes began before it was complete, it remains a symbol of the college’s earliest days.
Cole Library is the only library in the U.S. that serves both a college and its town. It’s a shared haven of books, learning, and connection.
Since 1876, this Gothic Revival chapel has towered over campus. Its spire and stained glass have witnessed commencements, weddings, and countless campus milestones.
Our next stop is the Cornell College Bookstore, a vibrant hub for students and visitors alike. Here, you will find shelves brimming with textbooks, college gear, and unique gifts that capture campus spirit. Imagine the stories exchanged here as generations of students prepare for new adventures and discoveries.
Armstrong Hall stands as the creative heart of music on campus, where melodies and harmonies fill the air. Home to talented musicians, this building buzzes with rehearsals, recitals, and musical exploration. Imagine the vibrant sounds echoing from within as you take in it's inspiring presence outside.
Ash Park Stadium is the heart of athletic excitement in Mount Vernon, where generations have cheered for the Cornell Rams. Imagine the roar of the crowd and the thrill of game day as you stand before this storied field, a place where community spirit and sportsmanship come alive under open skies every season.
