In case you haven’t heard, the board of PHS determined that the historical society could not coexist with the monthly contra dances held at Pierce’s Hall. The East Putney Community Club was very generous to offer to share the space of the Hall, especially considering the historical society’s recent difficulty in finding a place to settle down after moving out of the downstairs of the Town Hall to make space for the town offices. However, after a lengthy study of the space, which included input from multiple sources, the board determined that moving out of the town center to create an office and display area which would need to be packed up every month would not be a good choice. We will continue to serve the town from the Town Hall for the time being—the geneology files and important reference texts are still located in the accessible downstairs, and our main collection of documents, books, photos and artifacts is currently housed upstairs. We are endeavoring to organize and clear the space in the large upstairs room so that it can be freely used by various organizations.
