Scholars, researchers, and historians have used the archives of the Society. We have even been contacted by Jeopardy, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Ken Burns, noted documentarian, declared,“ The Historical Society is a treasure, with an enormous amount of valuable information.” The museum staff visits local schools, hosts educational programs for all grades and presents programs for adults.

Arcadia Latest Publication
On November 24, 2009, at 7:00PM at the Seneca Falls Historical Society Frances T. Barbieri and Kathy Jans-Duffy will unveil the newest publication of Arcadia Press. “Images of America Seneca Falls...” It is a new book highlighting Seneca Falls from the late 1700’s to the 1950’s. Using the archives of the Seneca Falls Historical Society, the Society’s staff worked for two years compiling a pictorial history of Seneca Falls and its community. The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns and cities across the country, using archrival photographs; each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all. Some photos that were used for the book will be on display plus the staff will speak briefly on why certain pictures were selected and what was the motive behind the endeavor.
The program is free and open to the public. The book is available at the Society for $24.00 which includes tax. Refreshments will be served. For further information please call the Society at 315-568-8412.
