​On September 21, the Society hosted the Warren County Historical Society’s program by Dick Nason, presented in the community room of Richards Library, which served as co-host.  The logging heritage of our town and this region were evident as a standing room only crowd filled the room right to its maximum allowed capacity of 75.  Nason’s films date back almost a century, including high-quality color footage from the 1930s. The  enthusiastic audience asked questions and made comments for over 20 minutes.

A Film at the Library
On Wednesday night, September 21st at 7 PM, the Warrensburg Historical Society, in conjunction with the Warren County Historical Society, will present the film, "Old Time Logging and River Driving", with presenter Dick Nason. For 35 years, Dick was a forester for Finch, Pruyn and Co., Inc in Glens Falls.
On May 15, 2016 we unveiled a roadside plaque identifying the site of another electric plant that powered the trolley from 1902 to 1922 between Warrensburg and Queensbury. It used water power from the dam across the ​Schroon River. The plaque, across from Curtis Lumber, was funded by a grant from the Wm G. Pomeroy Foundation of Syracuse and was acquired thanks to the effort of Gary Bivona, our treasurer. After the plaque unveiling a “power point "presentation of photos and maps was held at Richards Library showing the trolley’s route from Warrensburg to Glens Falls, narrated by Paul Gilchrist.

Rewind: March 16, 2014 - Warrensburg Trolley | Warren County

In 2013, Warren County celebrated their bicentennial. Just one month before Warren County was formed, the Town of Warrensburg was established, so they, too, celebrated their own birthday in 2013. In celebration of their 200th year, members of the Warrensburgh Historical Society and Town Historian, Sandi Parisi, published a book, WARRENSBURG NEW YORK, 200 YEARS of People, Places and Events.

Thank you to Judy Korcz for the photos from the marker unveiling ceremony.
