William Morgan

“The Strange Disappearance of Captain William Morgan” tells the unusual but true story of a Batavia, NY resident believed to have been kidnapped from a Canandaigua jail house and murdered in order to prevent him from publishing a book that would reveal one of history’s greatest mysteries!

Told with the help of documents found kept hidden in a locked safe for over a hundred years, the “truth” of the “Morgan Affair” will finally be revealed!

New and Interesting in December

 

Online Shop  A new feature at the Society is the secure online purchasing of museum products.  While in the Shop, you can just add the item to the cart, or you can click on the picture to see more information.  With the Christmas season arriving, it’s a convenient way to order and receive that unique gift for someone special.  Items available include the Bicentennial Calendar, various books by local authors and even membership renewal. 

Of special note is Doug Sloane’s book of photography by Verona Marble.  We are not selling a museum calendar this year, so those of you who love images of Newark’s history are sure to love this book     

Books by local authors Jim Bush and Sharon SanAngelo  are now available.  We will be continually adding new items, so stop back often. 

When you order online, you can save the shipping costs by checking the “local pickup” option on the cart page.  The museum is open 1 to 3 on Saturdays and pickup is also available most mornings.  Just call (315) 331-6409.
