A number of years ago, I remember reading about financial problems at the Eastman House and felt bad because we had visited there back in the 80s and found it wonderful. Last night, I did a little searching and found that, apparently, they changed their mission in order to survive.

When we toured, there was a heavy emphasis on George Eastman, himself, and the magnificent home. From what I can tell, the site has an expanded museum section now, and the focus is on the history of photography - not just Eastman the man. One of the websites has an interesting (too short) history on Niepce, the daguerreotype, the process, and its influence on history.
