Delaware County Historical Association to Present Awards of Merit * Local Historian to Speak on Early Settlers

The annual meeting of the Delaware County Historical Association will be held on Sunday, November 4, 2012. A pot luck luncheon buffet at 1:00pm sets the scene for the gathering of members and guests in the large gallery at DCHA. The luncheon will be followed by the presentation of DCHA’s annual Awards of Merit to those individuals and groups who have helped to preserve and/or present the history of Delaware County.


The highlight of each year’s event is the presentation of the Awards of Merit. This year, the following individuals will be recognized for their achievements:


Lorraine Miller, Walton


Bea Bennett, Walton


Anne Willis, Stamford


DCHA is proud to honor these people who have contributed so much to the preservation of our county’s fascinating history. A short business meeting will follow the Awards of Merit presentation.


The general public is also invited to join us at 2:45pm when Frank Waterman, Meredith Town Historian and President of Meredith Historical Society, will present a Powerpoint presentation entitled, “Early Settlers in NE Delhi: Were they Pioneers or Squatters?”


There is no charge this year to attend any portion of the meeting. For more information call or e-mail (607) 746-3849 ~ dcha@delhi.net
