Program on WWI
Thank you, everyone, who attended our program on World War I last night. It was a treat to have Steuben County Historical Society director and GCC adjunct history professor Kirk House with us to present “Over Here.”
And speaking of World War I, does anyone have any photos of Dansville during World War II? Our museum curator, David Gilbert, is looking for some photos for his next project. If so, please contact the historical society at jmdansville@gmail.com. Thank you.
Please join us for our upcoming annual pasta dinner and program at 6 p.m. in the Dansville American Legion Hall on Oct. 28th. Tickets are $10 apiece and available at the door or through a historical society board member. See you there!
