Anyone interested in the history of the Village of Central Square is invited. The meetings and museum are held at the Village of Central Square Offices located at 3125 East Avenue, the museum is located upstairs at this time. The purpose of these events is to increase and share historical information for the Village of Central Square. People can view different parts of the current collection, share items they have or just reminisce. If you have a local history artifact that you would like to have photographed for the collection or donated to the collection please bring it along. Also of interest are historical documents and photos as well as personal writings. This will be very informal with the intent to continue to document the past as well as the present. We hope to see you there!
