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.
The Afton Free Library and the Afton Historical Society received a grant from the Community Foundation for South Central NY for the purchase of a laptop computer on which we can load files about Afton history, and which may be used by individuals in the library or borrowed by organizations for use in programs. These files are currently loaded in the laptop: 1. The Way we Were – Charles Decker 2. The Afton Museum – History 3. Story of Afton – Carlton Hayes 4. Doctors, Druggists and Dentists – text of program 5. Centennial Revisited 6. Buildings of Afton 7. Afton Walking Tour talk 8. AHS Annual Calendars 9. 1863 map of Afton
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.
