If you would like to donate baked goods, perennials or “treasures” for our sale, or can be of other assistance, please contact the library.

MEMORIES OF WAR

EXHIBIT

Soldiers from Pittstown and surrounding areas have fought in wars and conflicts since the American Revolution.  They recorded their lives in letters, pictures, souvenirs and memorabilia, sent home and carefully saved by loving family and friends.    These unique and very personal memories of war will be displayed during the month of May at the Valley Falls Community Hall, 11 Charles St,  Valley Falls.   The display will be open Tuesdays from 10am-noon and 6pm-8pm and is jointly sponsored by the Village of Valley Falls and the Valley Falls Free Library. 

Free and open to all
