Folks of the Galen Historical Society in Clyde have been working very hard to create a new display for their summer visitors at the Brick Church Museum. The exhibit will feature pictures and artifacts of downtown retailers in the mid-20th century. As in most small villages, the bustling sidewalks and thriving businesses have been hurt by the big retail chains, shopping malls and online shopping. This exhibit will give us a glimpse of what we have lost. Anyone who has pictures of downtown Clyde, the merchants, or artifacts of the old businesses and would be willing to loan or donate them to enhance the exhibit should call Hugh Miner at 315-923-4841.</div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The museum will be open on Wednesdays from 1 to 3 and during the Community Market on Thursdays from 3 to 6 starting on June 19 and ending on September 12.</div>

Please bring your items to "show" to the membership, and the story you want to "tell" us about the items. You can bring anything that is appropriate- nothing sexual or racially explicit- for the meeting. We prefer the items be historic and from the Galen/Clyde area, but it is not absolutely necessary. This is a good time to bring something that needs to be identified. Hopefully, someone would know what it is and how to use it.<br />
We are also asking the membership to vote on a change to the constitution. Every member that can attend the meeting is requested to be there for this important vote.<br />
We hope to see you on Monday January 28th, 2019.<br />

Today, Tuesday November 27th, 2018, is the National Day of Giving. Once again, the Galen Historical Society is participating locally in ROC the Day through the United Way of Rochester, NY. Please consider donating to the Galen Historical Society. Your generous contributions help us to collect and preserve items and information about our local history so that we can help visitors, students, and the local community to understand our place in history. <br />
This year the historical society has published a video on YouTube called "Swamp to River" about the construction of the Erie Canal and it's effect on our history. We have also erected a historical marker to honor a local Revolutionary War soldier and assisted a Congressional Medal of Honor society locate a Civil War soldier so that he can be recognized. <br />
Please help us to continue producing programs that spotlight our local history, and to update and preserve our local museums with their amazing collections. Thank you.</div>

Mr. Vermilyea was buried with family members in the White School House Cemetery on the corner of Rte. 414 north and Kelsey Rd.<br />
The sign was purchased through the joint efforts of Tom Sawtelle, Town of Galen Supervisor Steve Groat, the Town of Galen, the Village of Clyde, and the local SOAR organization, using a historical signage grant from the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership. We are very grateful for their assistance.<br />

Did anyone notice something missing from outside of the Mill Museum in Clyde, NY? Don't worry; it was on purpose. On Saturday June 30th, 2018, thanks to Brian Howell and his new tractor, we finally managed to get the "Big Ole" Steam Engine into the basement of the Mill Museum. This is part of the historical society's efforts to clean and reorganize the Mill Museum and the wonderful agricultural exhibits.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Also assisting Steve Groat and Brian Howell was Burt Bogart (museum neighbor). Please refer to the photos for a guide to success. Don't get fooled, it wasn't as easy as the<br />
photos look. We had three Engineers on site and that combined brain power<br />
reduced the entry time to one hour. Again, many, many thanks the Mr. Howell!<br />
Thank you to Steve Groat for the information I used and the pictures.</div>

Just follow the link provided. The video is a compilation of current and historical photographs, and video of the Erie Canal, with narration written and given by Town of Galen Historian Hugh Miner. It features music written and performed by local singer/songwriters Nancy and John Bryan. Town of Galen Supervisor Steve Groat did the current photography and editing.

There are some exciting changes at the Brick Church Museum this year! We have moved displays and cases around in order to make it easier to view our exhibits, like our beautiful Clyde Glass collection.<br />
Our summer display is all about genealogy this year. We have some interesting, and helpful hints about "digging up your family roots". There is also the documents that the late Bill Dean collected and donated to the historical society that are available upon request. <br />
Our summer hours have changed again this year. The Brick Church Museum will be open Wednesdays from 1-3pm from June 13th through August 29th. We also added open hours at the Brick Church Museum on Thursdays from 3-6pm to coincide with the Clyde Community Farmers' Market in the village park. These hours start Thursday June 14th and go through August 30th. We are planning extra open hours during the Clyde Community Festival in August.<br />
Unfortunately, the Mill Museum is currently being refurbished and will not have regular open hours this year. Both museums are available for tours upon request. Just email us at galenhistoricalsociety@gmail.com, or call a key holder to make an appointment.<br />
We are planning our annual picnic for Monday July 23rd, and an auction on July 25th. Our fabulous Clyde Glass jewelry is currently available for sale, and we continue to accept memorial brick orders all year. Watch for details in your next copy of our newsletter. Have a great summer, and don't forget to drop in and check out our summer display!<br />

Our mission is to preserve our local history and to educate our community about it. Currently, Hugh Miner, Galen Town Historian and member of the GHS Board of Directors, and Steve Frost, Galen Town Supervisor and member of the GHS Board of Directors, are working on a video about the construction and history of the Erie Canal in our area. They are using beautiful photography, historical narration, and the music of Nancy and John Bryan, local singer/songwriting and recording artists, to explain and educate about our history. The video will eventually be uploaded to YouTube so everyone can watch it.<br />
Thank you for your support! Sincerely, The Galen Historical Society Board of Directors<br />
