Historical Museum June Events
The next meeting of the Historical Committee is June 16 at 7:00 PM. Work meetings are being held every 4th Thursday morning at 10:00 AM until we have completed scheduled tasks. The next work meeting is Thursday June 24. The Open House was a success with around 30 visitors enjoying the exhibit and the ice cream made by Almon Williams.
The exhibit's theme, "Alfred Through The Ages, "focuses on the clothes and tools used by out ancestors, it also tells us what life was like in each century, from the 1700sto 2000. We have tried to include some of the most important such as Simeon Coffin's arrival in Alfred, and the arrival of the Shakers in the 1700s.
We thank townspeople who have loaned us artifacts, including one special display provided by a young lady, new to Alfred who made a display of stencils done by Moses Eaton, circa 1825. The young lady is Annie Moore who now lives in what was previously the Holt house on Clark Road. We invite all residents to pay us a visit and maybe you will learn something new about your town.
Rug Hooking Classes are being held at the museum every Wednesday at 2:00 PM. Anyone wishing to participate should contact Allison Williams at 324-5823.
