To the Editor:

The Clarksville Historical Society has a new exhibit at the former Superior Oil Building located at the corner of Route 443 and Tarrytown Road in Clarksville. The exhibit will be open on Sundays, Sept. 7 and 21, from 2 to 4 p.m.

This exhibit honors the residents of Clarksville who served in the military. The exhibit also includes a register of those who served in the Civil War.

We are excited to include an original Patroon Indenture for property in Onesquethaw and a 1767 survey map of Albany County. These rare and beautifully framed documents were recently generously donated to our collection.

Also included is a photo display of the history of farming in our area as well as other activities of the past.

We ask if anyone has a photo of a relative who enlisted in the military who is not represented by one of the banners displayed in town, we would like to have a copy for our display.

We are constantly updating our photo collection for future exhibits. Our historical society can only stay alive with the community’s interest and support.

For information, contact me, Marilyn Miles, by phone at 518-768-2870 or by email at locustknoll@msn.com.
