History Preservation Roundtable of Allegany County works to keep local history alive and well

The History Preservation Roundtable of Allegany County (HPRAC) is interested in placing a historic marker at a site in Allegany County that is not currently marked as an important site in Allegany County’s history.  In order to include many possible sites for consideration, HPRAC would like suggestions as to an appropriate site.  Suggestions can be submitted by any resident or non-resident of Allegany County; we encourage people of all ages, from students to Senior citizens, to participate.  Although folklore and peoples’ memories are interesting in recalling history, we will be selecting the site based on written documentation, preferably from several sources such as old newspapers, books, photos, maps, and other written records.  A persuasive reason why the site should be selected should also be submitted.Interested applicants should contact Rose Feenaughty  maryfee2@stny.rr.com or NancyMayoikenan@rochester.rr.com prior to submitting their selections.  All suggestions must be made to Rose and Nancy received no later than Memorial Day, 2018. The final decision will be made by July 4, 2018.Plans are being made by the Roundtable committee and further information will be available in the future. For further information, please email or call Rose Fee naughty 585-928-1796 or Nancy Mayo 585-268-8025.
