What’s in Your Attic?

Tucked away in your attic, garage and scrapbooks are treasures and missing links that could help solve many mysteries about North Salem’s history. If you have old photographs, maps, memorabilia, advertisements, newspaper clippings, etc., please share them! Don’t toss that old picture of a farmer you can’t identify – there might be valuable information in the photo’s background. A map that doesn’t make sense to you might be just the one we have been hunting. An advertisement for an event at Union Hall could help us with that landmark’s history. A diary or letter might have snippets of important information about the town before the Titicus Reservoir.
Please visit or call Susie Thompson, Town Historian, at Lobdell House at 914-669-8459, or e-mail her at SThompson@northsalemny.org. She will treat your treasures with care and copy and return them quickly. All discoveries will be shared with the North Salem Historical Society.
Thanks for your help!
