Living History in Warwick

     As the COVID-19 crisis unfolds more daily, the Warwick Historical Society is asking the community to help bear witness to the response to the pandemic. If in a position to do so, residents are asked to collect photographs, signs, articles, flyers and other material about the health crisis and the historic responses and heroic behavior of our neighbors, friends, families, first responders and medical professionals, “essential” workers, educators and schools, businesses, and local, state and national officials.

     When the crisis has subsided, the Historical Society will collect the information and preserve it for today’s and future generations, and host a community gathering that celebrates resident’s resiliency and connection in the Town of Warwick.

     For more information about gathering and preserving materials or the Warwick Historical Society, visit www.whsny.org, Facebook.com/whsny.org, or call 986-3236.

Warwick residents are encouraged to help the Warwick Historical Society bear witness to the COVID-19 pandemic, & preserve this historic time for future generations by saving signs, documents, articles, flyers & more for the archive department at the Society.
