Researching Your Past

We have a large collection of family files, books, scrapbooks and other documents located at the Museum. You can contact Wendy Caldiero at wendycaldiero@tds.net, to access the files.

There are 8 cemeteries in the Afton area - Glenwood, Eastside, North Afton, Reed-Guy, Wakeman, Baptist, Melendy Hill and Broad. The Historian also has information on each of them.  Contact Kathy Ouimet, Historian, at aftonnyhistorian@gmail.com or visit her Facebook page - Town of Afton Historian.
