BRIEF HISTORY
The Historical Society of the Town of Bolton received its charter
from the New York State Education Department in 1970. Two years prior
to the issuance of the charter the Roman Catholic Church of the Albany
Diocese gave the recently deconsecrated Church of the Blessed Sacrament
to the Town of Bolton. The former church, built in 1890, is now the
Historical Society Museum and houses a substantial collection of materials
relative to the rich history of the Town of Bolton and the surrounding
area.
DESCRIPTION OF
ACTIVITIES
The goals of the Historical Society are fivefold:
[1] to bring together people interested in local history,
[2] to locate and preserve any materials that may relate to the
natural, civil, artistic, and ecclesiastical history of the Town and its
environs,
[3] to display collections and to make available for researchers
artifacts, books, manuscripts, papers, photographs, and records,
[4] to disseminate information relative to the history of the Town
of Bolton and
[5] to identify and mark places of historic interest in the Town
and to encourage the preservation of historic sites and buildings.
