The Ogden Historical Society will reopen the Colby Pulver House and Barn, 568 Colby Street, Spencerport, to the public this year. Masks and social distancing are required for all programs and tours.
The Victorian Parlor has been transformed to represent an important event in Ogden’s history. A new exhibit dedicated to children has also been staged. Inside the barn, visitors will see some of the tools of the trades that built Ogden. All tours are by appointment only.

•June 2 – Memorial Day and the GAR with Ginny Parker
