Historical Society Presents The History of Wellsville's Fire Departments


Wellsville Historical Society member Bob Lloyd will present another in this year's series of special programs Sunday, August 15 at 2 P.M. at the River Museum. Mr. Lloyd's program is The History of the Wellsville Fire Departments and he has prepared a slide show of historic pictures to compliment the program.

Mr. Lloyd is the Historian for both the Wellsville Volunteer Fire Dept. and the Friends of the Old Fire Station. His research in Wellsville fire fighting history has made him an expert on the subject. Shown above at Wellsville's third fire station, in the 800 block on Main Street, is Lloyd along with fellow members Brassy & Bonny Beresford at a recent open house.

The program is free and open to the public. The River Museum is located at 1003 Riverside, just behind the Central Methodist Church on Main. Doors open at 1 P.M. The River Museum is open for touring until 4:30.

The museum is open for touring every Sunday from 1 to 4:30 through the end of August. As always admission is free and the public is invited. After Sunday, August 29, reservations are required for special tours. You can call 330-532-3941 for more information.

Brassy says "you all come down and join us"... You'll enjoy learning about one of Wellsville's most important organizations.
