In conjunction with Geneva Night Out on Friday, November 6, 2015, the Geneva Historical Society will conduct a History Harvest at the museum to collect material related to Geneva during the 1960s. Now fifty years ago, the decade is receding into memory quickly, and the Historical Society is seeking material to help tell the story of the community during this turbulent decade. Staff are looking for photographs, documents and objects available for loan or donation. A scanner will be set up that night to make digital copies of materials that can be scanned.
In addition, members of a Hobart and William Smith public history class will display panel exhibits on topics relating to Geneva in the 1960s that were developed as a class project. The History Harvest and exhibits will be going on from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Geneva History Museum, 543 South Main Street, Geneva, N.Y. Parking is on the street or in the Trinity Episcopal Church lot across the street. For more information call the Geneva Historical Society at 315-789-5151 or visit our website at genevahistoricalsociety.com.
Geneva Night Out is a free monthly arts and cultural event in downtown Geneva, NY on the first Friday of every month from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information visit genevanightout.org.
