Amenia Historical Society

Milestones Project

This is one of the most exciting projects undertaken during this 300th year celebration. Amenia residents, old and new, neighbors or visitors, are asked to contribute their special knowledge of the hamelts of Amenia, Wassaic, South Amenia, Amenia Union and Smithfield. What we're looking for are any bits of history, old and new, ancient or modern, that you think should be remembered for future generations.

We will be compiling all the reliable data that we receive and posting it on this web site as well as making the database available in the yown hall and public library.

Much like a timecapsule without limit, this Milestones Project, will help future historians and residents better appreciate the fabric, details, structure and pace of our lives and that of those who came before.

Do you know when a house's foundation was laid? Tell us.

Do you know when a barn was built and who farmed there? Tell us.

Do you know when a massive tree was planted and why? Tell us.

Do you know where the old Post Offices were? Tell us.

Do you know when they paved the road? Tell us.

In short, what you know about Amenia, we want to know. Please tell us.

To pass along your information, please fill out our milestone form and e-mail it to us.
