Charlene Cole was appointed historian for the Town and Village of Sandy Creek and the Village of Lacona in August 2001.
Since the appointment many grants have been written and awarded. A grant was written to build a fire-safe room,
humidity controls, the 1803-2003 Early Settlers Bicentennial, equipment and currently a preservation grant for two 100 year
old advertisement panels.
An immaging and scanning project has been implemented and paid for by the town and both villages. This project will span
several years and has allowed us to share many photos with researchers and local businesses.
A research room has been created and we are busy indexing and putting research aids onto computers and CD's for the public
to quickly access information. The hours for the facitlity are Fridays from 9am to 4pm OR by appointment! I can be reached
at 315-387-5456 x 7 and will gladly set up an appointment for researchers to visit the center.
