Congratulations! 

The historical society bestowed the Nellie Tyrrell Award, worth $25, to Edinburg Common School students  Gabriella Caciopoli and Koupas Paxton. The award is named in honor of the Gloversville school teacher who founded the Edinburg Historical Society in 1975. She also was the town’s first historian.
