Welcome to Smyrna
SMYRNA – The Smyrna Historical group recently unveiled three new welcome signs that greet travelers and visitors to this northern Chenango County village.
The bright blue panels feature the Smyrna Town Hall, a 19th Century opera house that the historical group is slowly but surely bringing back to its original splendor. The building located just below Main Street and behind the Smyrna Market will house offices, a boardroom and court space for the town.
The Smyrna Historical group is a working committee comprised of both village and town residents. The signs are an outgrowth of the Smyrna Bicentennial Celebration of 2009, the purpose of which was to help preserve, honor and beautify the evolution of Smyrna as a farming, logging and residential community.
“It was a joint effort,” said Mayor Charles Edmonds of the project. “We couldn’t have done it without the town’s support.”
The signs were made possible through a fundraising effort spearheaded by Smyrna Town Councilman Wayne Simmons, who raised more than $2,500. Designer and sign maker T & M Paint and Graphics of Pigeon Hill offered their services for the task.
“All of Smyrna couldn’t be prouder of the final product,” said Town Supervisor Jim Bays.
“From our unique summertime Smyrna Band concerts on the balcony of our library to our fire department’s mouth watering chicken barbecues held from spring to fall, take note of our most recent community-wide effort when you visit or are just passing through,” he said.
