Two new markers to be unveiled soon!

I’m prepping for two historical marker unveilings this fall (date to be decided):

1. East Conesville Cemetery honoring Judah Leaming, revolutionary war soldier (thank you to the Sons of the American Revolution & William G. Pomeroy Foundation for funding!)

2. Four Corner Schoolhouse at intersection of Van Aken Rd and Bull Hill (thank you to SM Young Construction for funding!)

With that being said, I am asking if anyone out there has any artifacts or family stories from the Four Corners School house.

Please email me at [email protected] or call/text 607-435-3258
