Minutes

The September 14, 2023 meeting of the Pittsville Historical Society was called to order by President Chris Buchanan. The secretary and treasurer reports were presented and approved.

The first order of old business was a report by Chris Buchanan on the tour by the Lions Club on September 6. About 17 Lions spent an hour touring the buildings and grounds before their dinner meeting. Some had not been here before so it was especially nice to be able to answer their questions about the various exhibits.

Marlene Neve met with 20 students from the ninth grade history class. They viewed the history wall and flip charts in the museum. Many had spent a day at Scranton School when they were in third grade. They revisited the school and went through the other buildings on the grounds. They were expected to give a report on what they observed.

The Pow-wow Booth and school are getting a new paint job to keep them in good condition. Chris Buchanan is trying to find a contractor to finish painting the school.

Book 9 in the Stories of Our Lives series is nearing completion. Jan Patrick and Marlene Neve have been interviewing people and compiling their stories. This will be a large project to cross off the to-do list.

The volunteers would like to extend a sincere Thank You to Abigail Huber and Liz Knuteson for helping at the museum this summer. Abigail spent her Thursdays helping with various projects. She was always ready and willing to help with any task that was required. Liz mowed the grass as needed this summer.

Jan Patrick reported that she and Sharon Christensen have been working on a binder that will hold pictures of the various exhibits and objects that are in the museum and out buildings. She will add a description to accompany the pictures.

Motion to adjourn.
