3rd & Main Then & Now

Here's another picture that caught our attention at the River Museum.  No date on the old one but it has to be 1800s sometime when the corner store was a boys clothing store.

The newer picture was taken just a few days ago.  We've been told that years ago that was a very lively spot in Wellsville.

Proudly Displaying Her Patriotism

We're sorry we didn't get this young lady's name.  However we were impressed with her display of patriotism at this year's Memorial Day observance in Wellsville.  Decked out in red, white & blue she even joined in the parade down Main Street.

Wellsville Honors Its Veterans

Wellsville once again honored its veterans in an impressive Memorial Day ceremony.  Organized by the Wellsville Memorial Council it is sponsored and supported by Wellsville’s veteran organizations, businesses and many private individuals. 

The annual observance began at the Soldier’s Memorial in the 4^th Street Square, a parade down Main Street and concluding ceremonies at the Newlin Memorial Chapel in Springhill Cemetery.  The VFW Tommy Mackall Post served breakfast and later a light lunch following the ceremonies.  Pastor Darlene Zanders offered the prayers and Mayor Susan Haugh represented Village officials.  The sound system was furnished by the Croskey brothers and the Wellsville High School Marching Band provided musical selections.  Members of the Wellsville Police Dept. gave a 21 gun salute and Wellsville Fire Fighters provided an escort.  Columbiana County Commissioner John Payne, pictured here, was the keynote speaker. 

Wellsville’s observance is the finest in the valley.  For more information on the Memorial Council contact President Don Brown at the Wellsville VFW Post.

The first Sunday in June will kick off another summer season of open house touring and special programs.  Starting June 3 the Wellsville River Museum will be open each Sunday afternoon from 1 to 4:30 PM for open house touring.  The museum will be open each Sunday afternoon through August.  Visitors are free to tour at their own leisure through the three floors jam packed with historical artifacts, the Fire Station, the caboose and the Country Store.  Tour guides will be available to answer any questions that arise.  The museum is located at 1003 Riverside Avenue, just behind the Central United Methodist Church at 10th & Main Sts.  Parking is available at the museum and additional parking is available just down the street at 11th & Riverside.
