2024 Annual Meeting
On Sunday, May 19 at 2:00 pm the Ardsley Historical Society will hold our annual meeting. As part of the annual meeting there will be a presentation by Barbara Davis, co-director of the Westchester Historical Society. The title of her presentation is “Touring Westchester.”
The stories of Westchester County’s rich and varied history can be told in many ways, but one of the most effective ways is through the buildings and landscapes it has chosen to identify and preserve. This illustrated slideshow provides a glimpse of Westchester’s sites on the National Register of Historic Places that have some public access, with interpretation.
Location is TBD
