After 5 years I am going to be stepping down as Town Historian. If you have an interest in history and preservation of historical "stuff", this might be the part time job for you. You can set your own hours, set your own projects and do as little or as much as you would like. Contact Lorie DeWitt-Antilla or any Board member if you would like to find out more or would like to submit your name for consideration.
Here are some unique helpful links to help you search for history of the area or your own history:
- Syracuse University Special Collections
- New York Heritage
- Onondaga Historical Association
- Cayuga-Owasco Lakes Historical Society (note: site not secure)
- Skaneateles Historical Society
- Upstate New York Historical Newspapers
- New York State Research Library
- Find a Grave
- Historical Society of the NY Courts
- New York Genealogical and Biographical Society
- Syracuse Aerial Photos (part of the Syracuse University Collections)
The historian's office is located in the basement of the Niles Town Hall. We are open Thursday evening's from 3-7PM, except on the 2nd and 3rd Thursdays, then it is 4-7PM
The current historian is Lorie DeWitt-Antilla and can be reached at:
