Jack Mahan, a long-time resident of Brockport, recently made a donation to the Brockport Museum & Library of Local History.
Several years ago, when the museum held an open house, Jack stopped by for a visit. It was the first time he’d been to the museum in a long time. He was “blown away” by the many changes that had taken place after a group of loyal volunteers spent hours, days, and weeks revamping the museum into a must see stop for local residents and out-of-town visitors alike.
Jack believes in the importance and value of honoring and preserving the letters, pictures, and artifacts from those who have gone before us. Three times, Jack has made donations and hopes others who value the museum will make donations, small or large, in order to continue the work of preservation.
Many artifacts need restoration in order to prevent further deterioration. As the fund grows, Jack hopes, someday, the Village will be able to offer a reasonable Director’s salary. Those wishing to contribute any amount to the fund may send a check to the Village of Brockport, 127 Main Street, Brockport, NY 14420 and specify Friends of the Brockport Museum.
On October 15, 2024, Jack presented his check to Mayor Margay Blackman along with a gathering of Friends of the Brockport Museum.
Karen Sweeting has been appointed the new Museum Director. For the winter months, the museum is open by appointment. Call the Village Office at 585-637-5600 to schedule a tour.
