Researching Your Past

We have a large collection of family files, books, scrapbooks and other documents located at the Museum. You can contact the Town/Village Historian, Kathy Ouimet, to access the files or have her do a search for you. She also has an extensive collection of family files in her Office located in the Town Hall.

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.
