WILLIAMSON-PULTNEYVILLE HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
The
Williamson-Pultneyville Historical Society begins its 2017 membership drive
this month.
The mission of the Society
has been and continues to be preserving the history of the Town of
Williamson. The Society is located in
the Hamlet of Pultneyville at 4130 Mill Street in a
landmark home c.1858
purchased in 1996. The home was known as
the Auchampaugh residence.
Williamson-Pultneyville
Historical Society is a non-for-profit organization relying on memberships,
grants and fundraising for its financial support. Membership dues are used to maintain the
three
W-PHS properties. The Society
Museum houses exceptional exhibits and an extensive artifacts
and archival
collection. The museum is open and free
to the public June through September weekends
and by appointment throughout the
year. Located behind the house is the
War of 1812 Bicentennial
Peace Garden available to enjoy throughout the
year. Gates Hall bears distinction as
the oldest active
little theatre in the United States. The Society has an ongoing relationship with
Gatesingers, the
resident theatrical group that uses Gates Hall for their
plays. Gates Hall is also available to
the
public for private functions. The
third property maintained by W-PHS is Centennial Park in the
heart of
Pultneyville.
The
historical society also sponsors monthly programs of historic interest as well
as community events.
Some of this
past year’s programs have been Underground Quilts, History of the American
Legion,
Civil War Letters, and Mural Mania. Community events have been Dutch
Dinner, Homecoming
Festival, Picnic in the Park, and Community Garage Sale. Upcoming events to finish out 2016
are the
Moonlight Cemetery Tour in October, Harvest Dinner in November and the Holiday
Music
Program in December. Programs for 2017 are in the works and promise to be
fascinating.
All programs are open to
the public.
