The COVID 19 Pandemic has changed our daily lives and may do so for several months to come.

Therefore, the Duanesburg Historical Society is suspending our monthly meetings and all activities until the ban on group meetings has been lifted and confidence in your safety has been restored.

At our last General meeting we determined that our remaining program year will be cancelled.  Restrictions on group meetings, cleaning protocols and the safety of our membership were all determining factors.  We will be ready in the spring to reevaluate the COVID19 situation and are prepared to start a new program year, if advisable.

Please reach out to friends and neighbors who are not connected with us through our email list to share this message.

Stay Well.  Stay Informed.  Stay Home.

Programs

Programs are held at Our Lady of Fatima Church Hall (Alexandar Road, Delanson) at 7:00PM unless otherwise noted.
