Sherburne joins in historical weekend celebration
SHERBURNE – The Town of Sherburne Historic Park Society has joined the 8th annual Fall Festival History Weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, some of the historical societies and museums of Madison, Onondoga, Oneida, and now Chenango counties will host a free, educational weekend, featuring self-guided tours of historic central New York.
This is the first year that Sherburne’s Historic Park Society will join in the festivities. The counties-wide organization has wanted to expand the history weekend to include Chenango County for some time, but so far, Sherburne is the only one to accept the invitation.
“The purpose of this annual event has been to raise awareness of local history in our small communities and to increase heritage tourism throughout central New York,” Sherburne Town Historian Rose Wellman said.
The Sherburne portion of this event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Sherburne Historic Park. Sites on this portion of the tour include a restored one-room schoolhouse, a small railroad section house, a water gauging station from the Chenango River, and an older log cabin that will be the future home of the historian’s office.
The program for Saturday will highlight the central New York Pioneer Gas Engine Association display. The local Lions Club will offer food at a concession stand, and the Sherburne Historic Park Society will be having a bake sale. Russ Fryover’s famous recipe doughnuts, prepared by his granddaughter, Gail Diamond Morgan of Mort’s Dog House, will be sold.
“Some of the other planned events are the rope man, who has kept the kids busy in past years; a special classroom of the early days, taught by Cathy Weinell, and a special display of New York State’s identified covered bridges,” Wellman said.
In addition, there will be a hops display, and a display of apple peelers. Knitters, crafters, and quilters will be exhibited. Penny candy, face painting, a pudding eating contest, hay rides will be available, and people are encouraged to bring their own pumpkins to be painted for Halloween.
“There will be lots to do so come and join us,” Wellman said.
