Museum work

WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock Historical Society Museum is virtually complete at the beginning of the new Millennium and the society’s 25th year. The Historical Society was organized in November of 1979 and its collections have since grown to be among the most impressive of any society in the area.

The museum’s two floors are now nearly full though Curator Larry Billings notes a few “select, fine artifacts may still be added.”

The museum will be open for one more meeting, which will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, when Mary Billings will be playing records on her antique phonograph and the society will celebrate the beginning of its 25th year.

Curator Larry Billings has given a chandelier and reproduction weather vane to mark the occasion.

The museum is billed as a Historical and Cultural Center for the area and a representative New England Museum. This ambitious title is justified by the exhibits and excellent library.
