Mygatt’s family history explored in Oxford program
OXFORD – On Tuesday, Sept. 22, the Oxford Historical Society invites you to a special evening program at the Depot-Museum featuring ‘The Life and Career of Henry R. Mygatt and Family’. The early Mygatts had emigrated from England and made their mark in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York.
Henry R. Magatt was one of the most notable lawyers in Chenango County history, and certainly one of Oxford's most pre-eminent citizens. Still, he's not well known to locals despite his large oil portrait that hung in the Oxford Academy Middle School for years, marked “Trustee 1841-1875” and is now prominent in the local museum.
Don Howard, a life-member of the Oxford Historical Society, began researching Mygatt and he now has a fascinating story to tell – with several surprises and details of great interest for Oxonians and other Chenango residents.
This Oxford Historical Society program will not include a business meeting. Howard's program, a must for local history buffs, will be complemented by photos and stories from Charlotte Stafford's Queen Mary II voyage and her recent hospital visit.
This program will begin promptly at 7 p.m. at the Oxford Depot-Museum on Tuesday, Sept. 22. There is no admission charge, and all are welcome. Refreshments will be served.
The Oxford Historical Society is a private, non-profit educational and cultural organization whose goal is to preserve and share Oxford's history with the community. The OHS Depot-Museum, an authentic D L & W railroad depot built in 1914, is located at 1 Depot Street, Oxford, NY.
Directions: from the traffic light in the Oxford Village center, turn southeast on to Main Street, then take the first right (after the Fire House) onto Fort Hill Park. Make a left (pass by the middle school), onto Merchant Street and drive 1/10 mile. See the OHS Museum sign/ make a right on Depot Street where you’ll see the D L & W Railroad Depot/Museum. For info call Fred Lanfear, OHS President: (607) 821-1223 or email: Museum@ OxfordNY.com .
