The Mission Of Cortland County Historical Society

I knew that my hometown of Blairsville, Pennsylvania was a rich historical place before my research. I turned to visiting the historical society in my town for my information, there I was given a tour of a historical house where all of the artifacts had been donated. After looking into the history and the other elements of the town, I found out that the place where I grew up was so much more history than I could have ever imagined.

Most events and places of historical value nowadays holds little value in our lives. We confine ourselves to our interstates and highways, following the long line of motel chains stopping for maybe two minutes to take a picture just to say we were there. We take nothing away from these sites that is of real value. We barely scratch at the surface of information and true meaning of what happened at these historical sites. Rinker Buck explains his own experience with removing himself from this cultural norm

Acquiring additional burial sites for their deceased in other areas of New York was a barometer of the remarkable increase in landowners, as well as residents, of Seneca Village. Racial tension appeared to be non-existent. The Village was a

Growing up in a small town, someone wouldn’t think how much history is in that place. I’m very fortunate enough to live in a remarkable place that has a lot of history behind it. So let’s begin this journey together as we look back into the place that I call home.

Soon upon opening the index, which was essentially a record of the family names living in Morris County around that time, I quickly located the name Tuttle S and Tuttle C. Both names gestured towards a map, consisting of both Hanover and Whippany Township. Knowing that Caleb Tuttle was the priority, I learned that he had been living in the historic Littleton district, and, not far from the tuttle property, just up the road in fact, I saw the Haring Property on the map. Not farm from the Haring Farm were two properties labelled as Shelley and Rowe. In other words, by investigating the Tuttle family to serve as a marker when natural landmarks failed me, I learned that the Tuttles and the Harings had lived in Hanover Township, Morris County, during

The Texas State Historical Association affirms that the city of Austin was established in 1839 as the Republic of Texas and was named after its founder Stephen F. Austin (Humphrey, 2010). Head surveyor Edwin Waller was appointed to plan and construct Austin. Their intent was to have the city ready by the time the Texas congress assembled in November 1839 so they built temporary government buildings at temporary locations (Humphrey, 2010). By October government offices opened, the first church was organized, and the Austin City Gazette, the city’s first newspaper, made its debut. In January of 1840, Waller was elected the town’s first mayor. By that time, the city had 856 inhabitants, including 145 slaves (Humphrey, 2010). Initially

From the age of stage to the end of the steamboat era, the Valley would be a tourist stop for famous writers and poets; Noll mentions Sidney Lanier, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and William Cullen Bryant as timely visitors. The natural landscape provided a draw for those from the North and in Europe. There was also a material attraction, not just for smuggling during the American Civil War but also for the cypress that made for excellent lumber. The latter would come to an end during the Second World War. Tourism from nearby Palatka via steamboat would find its own end around the time of the First World War. As Noll concludes his article, the Ocklawaha would only come back into “national consciousness,” no longer “bypassed as irrelevant,” in the 20th century over “Barge canal

After researching ten monuments in my hometown of Shamokin, a small anthracite coal region town in central Pennsylvania, I recognized a lack of representation of Shamokin’s coal mining heritage throughout its urban spaces. Considering coal was the main production of labor for decades, there are no public monuments dedicated to its most influential contribution to the world. This summer I undertook researching ten monuments that depict representations of coal miners and their heritage throughout different PA anthracite regions; thus, discovering how this important heritage is represented and its effect on the public memory of a town. As I archived materials on the monuments, I created a digital database curating the ten monuments and analyzing
