Fall is here and school has started. I will be starting our Enfield Afterschool History Club in October. Hopefully we will be having a few visitors showing off their talent and knowledge
of history. On September 13 I met with the Municipal Historians we discussed how some “old” Town of Caroline records had been found by a resident but then placed in auction instead
of returning them to the Town. Hopefully most people will return “old” records (at least) to the town historian to keep in their collections. The Tompkins County Civil War Commission
events will come to end by summer 2015. The next project for the MH group will be World War I, we have not decided how to commemorate WWI. The group will also work on “redoing” the
Touring the Town brochures.
