Strawberry Social This Saturday, Noon to 3:00

Summer’s here, and with it comes the 26th Annual Strawberry Social.  Mark the date, June 26th from Noon to 3 PM at the museum on High St.  Social regulars know what an enjoyable time this is.  You get to enjoy a dish of strawberries, shortcake and ice cream with friends and neighbors on a nice summer’s day.  You can even get a takeout tray if you’re on the run.  But if you decide to linger, Fred Burgess and Jim Shear, aka The Loose Marbles, will be playing familiar songs on their acoustic guitars.

If you just want to stop by to enjoy the music and the museum, there’s no charge.  But while you’re here, you owe it to yourself to get the strawberry shortcake ($5.00 – $2.00 for children under 12).  You see, the Burnap’s in Sodus supplies our strawberries, Bee Tee’s donates the ice cream, and several of your fellow members have volunteered to make the shortcakes.  So most of your money will go to help fund Historical Society operations, and you get to enjoy strawberries in season!  How can you lose?

Hope to see you on the 26th.

Current Exhibit Will End On June 1

N-AHS Update

It’s been a while since we have posted, so here’s an update.

We were happy to be able to continue with the Winter Lecture Series this year after the 2020 series was curtailed.  Many came out to the Community Center to enjoy the four lectures.  In case you missed one or more, we have provided recordings on our Video page to add access for you during these Covid times.

Thanks to all of the members who sent in proxy votes for the annual meeting/election.  The total was far beyond the number required and we are happy that so many participated.  All of the nominees were elected, and you can see the list in the Administration page.

The museum is still open in a safe and secure way.  We have visitors every Saturday, and they enjoy the opportunity.  Events are being planned for the summer,  including the return of the Strawberry Social.  We will keep you informed of developments  as the date approaches.
