SHARING OUR HERITAGE
We've donated copies of our special 2014 reissue of the Knox Sesquicentennial book to local libraries and schools.
Recently, Nancy Frueh, president of the Knox Historical Society, presented copies of the special reissue of the Sesquicentennial History of Knox to the libraries of the Duanesburg Central Schools.  Receiving the books for their libraries are High School Principal Leslie Wehner and Elementary School Principal Andrea Conover.  Frueh and fellow re-enactor/musicians also presented music of the 18th and 19th centuries during Duanesburg Day, held March 28. To obtain a copy of the Sesquicentennial History, call 861-8393 or email [email protected].  The price is a $10.00 donation to the Knox Historical Society, plus a $3.00 fee for shipping.
