"101" YEARS AND GOING STRONG

The Van Cortlandtville

Historical Society

Be sure to be a part of another exciting year of exceptional guest speakers and additional surprises and special events.

The Van Cortlandtville Historical Society will host an OPEN HOUSE ON THE         FIRST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH, from 2 to 4 p.m., 

                                           (FROM APRIL TO OCTOBER)                                                                                 at The Little Red Schoolhouse, 297 Locust Avenue,                            Cortlandt Manor, New York.

This event is open free to the public.............

Visitors will be given a guided tour of the 19-century one-room schoolhouse, which until the mid-1970s was still functioning as part of the Lakeland Central School District. The schoolroom and adjoining meeting room of the Society has books, photographs and classroom items dating back to that early era.   The Little Red Schoolhouse is located at the north end of Locust Avenue next to Old Saint Peter’s Church and cemetery, just south of Oregon Road in the Town of Cortlandt.

IMPORTANT CHANGE





DO TO THE FACT THAT OUR ORIGINAL LUNCHEON SPEAKER HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, WE HAVE CHANGED THE PROGRAM A BIT. IT IS STILL ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL BUT WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
"CARLA AND KEYES".
Their program is called: "Rolling through time, a History of Rock."
Don't forget to dress in 50's attire if you want to
get in the mood.
