Friends of Petersburgh History

Invitation

to the Meetings of the

Friends of Petersburgh History

When: Second Wednesday of the Month at 4:00 PM

Where: Downstairs Room of the Petersburgh Public Library

Dear Petersburgh Residents:

You may have heard that a group of Petersburgh residents is interested in supporting any ongoing and future efforts to keep Petersburgh’s rich history alive and is reaching out to those local residents and organizations that share this interest and would like to become involved.

This involvement could be quite varied and could consist of ways to preserve and honor:

• The history of the families that lived here (and, in some cases, still live here) and were buried in the many cemeteries around town, the land they tilled, the buildings they lived in and the furniture, tools and household items they used;

• The history of the local veterans, who served in the Civil War or numerous wars overseas; and

• The history of our local Ambulance Squad and Fire Department with their proud traditions of serving this community in its hours of need.

All of us have something to contribute to this effort. No contribution will be too small or considered unimportant. It could just consist of scanning and printing photographs and documents, as well as preparing them for permanent storage or installing and arranging display cases.

This group, also referred to as the Friends of Petersburgh History, meets every second Wednesday of the month at 4PM in the downstairs room of the Public Library and the meeting is open to the public. Please come and let us know what you think is important and how you would like to be involved!

Sincerely, Friends of Petersburgh History
