The local historical society is set to launch a new initiative focused on compiling historical obituaries from the region. This project aims to preserve and share the stories of individuals who have contributed to the community’s heritage.
The initiative will begin on January 15, 2026, with a collection event at the town library. Residents are invited to submit any historical obituaries they may have, along with photographs and records that provide context about the individuals. The society plans to digitize these materials for future generations.
Participating organizations include the town library, local schools, and the historical society. Their combined efforts will help workshops and assist residents in how to preserve their family histories. The collaboration aims to enhance community engagement through shared historical narratives.
Previous projects by the historical society have focused on local history and genealogy, with a positive response from the community. This new initiative aligns with their ongoing mission to enrich local historical knowledge and education.
Residents interested in contributing to the historical obituaries project can drop off materials at the town library during hours of operation or email digital copies to the historical society. For more information, visit the historical society’s website.
