How to Use This Site
Say Hello to Joyce

One of my new Daylilies above. 
 

It's Our Birthday AGAIN !!! Eight Years of growth and development for Tri-Counties Site. We understand that this is not an event of importance to most who use the site, but for those of us who have done so much to make it possible and for those who rely on its content for a connection to their ancestral past and heritage, it is indeed a noteworthy event. It is another marker on our road to creating and maintaining a great online library. Many thanks to all of you who have helped me do this in so many ways, typing, reading cemeteries, sending in photos, postcards and articles, and moral support, friendship and encouragement. It is very easy to take for granted a resource such as this that has been available as long as this has. May we have many more birthdays before we burn out. I will not put up a page for birthday greetings as I did for our fifth - it was pretty much a dud - but we will be very pleased to receive birthday notes via email from those who share our joy at our eighth site birthday.

The weight of materials stored in the Booth Library at the Chemung Valley History Museum has caused the floor to sag and walls to crack. Much of the materials will have to be relocated to other parts of the museum. 
The overloaded second floor -- where Booth Library is located -- is sloping down and must be repaired before the area can be used again by the public, said Amy H. Wilson, the museum's director and curator.Until the museum has the money to restore the floor, members of public who wish to have research done will have to pay researchers to dig through the archives for them, Wilson said.The books and papers now in the Booth Library area must be relocated throughout the second and third floors of the museum, she said. Everything must be documented and archived so it can be located during the interim, and climate controls must be installed.About 600 researchers a year visit the library, archivist Heather Wade said. She said most users have been understanding about the situation and want the history protected and preserved, even if that means they can't use it right now."The next step (is) to reinforce the floor and structural renovations to the building, but of course that comes with a cost, which we can't manage right now," Wilson said.

27-29 AUG 2004 The 225th Anniversary of the Battle of Newtown - This is a major event for our area, but none of the committeee members have sent me information about it that I can pass on to you. Sorry. 
Our Ashland Historical Society joins with Newtown Battle Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution and the Chemung Valley Living History Center in celebrating the 225th ANNIVERSARY of the BATTLE of NEWTOWN on August 27, 28 and 29th.

This Revolutionary War battle took place at Lowman, here in the Town of Ashland on August 29, 1779, matching the Continental forces of Major General John Sullivan against the British and Indians under Colonal John Butler and Chief Joseph Brant.

Probably the most important battle of the Sullivan Expedition, it was an effort to counteract  attacks of the British and Indians on the colonists at Wyoming, Pa. and Cherry Valley, N.Y.

Weekend events include attacks on the British camp, on the Indian camp and the American camp, historical lectures, Re-dedication of Sullivan's Monument, and a RE-ENACTMENT of this HISTORIC BATTLE on the ORIGINAL SITE WHERE IT TOOK PLACE 225 YEARS AGO!

A great weekend for you and your family,  Come, enjoy!
Thanks - Sylvia Smith!
