Newark’s T. Spencer Knight Canal Park will be the site for John Zornow’s presentation, “Gone But Not Forgotten”, with slides and narration about Newark’s history. The date is Thursday, Aug. 20th at 7:30. Rain date will be the following week (Thurs. 8/27).
The program is sponsored by the Newark-Arcadia Historical Society. Please bring your own chairs. We ask that unrelated groups or individuals guard their neighbor’s health by not sitting too close. The event is free of charge and open to all. Refreshments will be available.
Mr. Zornow is a frequent speaker at the Newark-Arcadia Museum. He is a past president, writes a weekly historical column for Times of Wayne County, and a Kodak retiree.
For information, please call the Museum at 315-331-6409.
I’m Jim Weiler and I became president of the Society on June 15, 2020. It’s a challenging time for the Society as it is for the world in general.  We have had to walk down a number of new roads in the past five months, but as the uncertainty has subsided, our path has become clearer. The museum is now open from 1:00 to 3:00 on Saturdays and we are exploring the possibility of also opening the schoolhouse to the public. We are hoping to host an outdoor lecture in late August and then again in September if all goes well. Indoor lectures will have to wait until better times.
The N-AHS museum will be re-opening on Saturday, July 18th and every Saturday thereafter, from 1:00 to 3:00. We will open following New York State guidelines, which are some of the best in the nation, and probably even more stringent than what is necessary for our small museum. Our outlook is for you to have a safe, enjoyable experience, discovering or even re-discovering the fascinating aspects of Arcadia’s past.
