Tromptown
Historical Society
The
Tromptown
Historical Society was founded in 1975 and chartered by the State
Education Department in 1978. The group's focus has been collecting and
preserving historical materials of DeRuyter and surrounding areas.
These are housed in our museum on Utica Street in what was formerly the
bank building.
Our
society was also able to purchase
and preserve the Seventh Day
Baptist Church building. This was made possible with funds from our
membership and other community members. Further information is
available by clicking on the Church Project.
Our members
will offer a number of programs this
year, assist with
genealogy searches and historical reports, and will work with the
Yorkers group at the high school. We are participating in the Firemen's
Field Days and are planning our second Fall Festival. Our group will be
highlighted with a display at the Madison County Historical Society.
Additional
information can be found on the
DeRuyter Schools website and
the Olde Town Folks website.
The Society
is actively seeking
new members and we always need
additional donations. Membership and donations are vital to the
existence of our organization. We need members to become involved with
our existing projects and welcome new ideas and suggestions for new
programs.
We meet at 7:30 pm on the second Sunday of each month. We
presently
meet in the Town Hall but eventually expect to meet in our Seventh Day
church building. We always welcome guests, visitors and prospective
members at our meetings. Please join us.
