On October 21 at 7 p.m. the Edinburg Historical Society will hold its monthly meeting at the Edinburg Community Center on Military Road. Dan Berggren will entertain members with his music based on human nature, love, hard work, failure and success. Dan has recorded several CDs of songs on the Sleeping Giant Records label, including both traditional and original Adirondack music. These include Adirondack Green, Cloudsplitter, Rooted in the Mountains, Adirondack Reflections, and his latest CD, Tongues in Trees. All programs are free and open to the public.

Have you got your rake ready? It’s getting to be that time of year when many of us have a bit of straightening up to prepare for autumn and winter. The Edinburg Historical Society is no exception to this rule. The Nellie Tyrrell and Rural Museums will be cleaned and closed for the 2014 season. But the Historical Society doesn’t go into hibernation simply because it turns cold. We are still movin’ and shakin’.

A big thank you to everyone from Mr. Sitt’s former fourth grade class. Children from Mr. Sitt’s former fourth grade class from the Edinburg Common School attended the September meeting to give a lovely presentation on local history to culminate their studies. Congratulations to the 2014 Nellie Tyrrell Award winners, Ethan Moore and Kailyn Ginter.

Claudette Koza was elected to a three year term as secretary. After many years of service, our vice-president Marilyn Sargent has had to step down, so her position is currently open and we are currently looking for a volunteer to fill that role.

What a great Fall Festival! Thank you to the community for such wonderful support.
