CLARKSVILLE — Join the Clarksville Historical Society on Wednesday evening, May 3, at 7 p.m. at the Clarksville Community Church on Delaware Turnpike for an interesting presentation on New York license plate and vehicle registration history.
Jim Schaller, one of the few historians on New York license plates and vehicle registration from 1900 up to today, will share what he has gleaned from his long-time hobby of collecting plates.
He is a member of the Automobile License Plate Collectors Association, an international group with an annual convention.
Many of us have found old license plates in our barns and this is an opportunity to find out about something about them. The public is invited, and refreshments will be served following the program.
For information, call (518) 768-2870.
