On Wednesday July 9 and Wednesday July 16, the Greater Oneonta Historical Society is offering “Main Street Memories Walks”.
A couple years back we found that these informal and leisurely walks were a great opportunity to reminisce about the past, but also
reflect on the present, and propose ideas for the future. The July 9 walk will cover Main Street east of Dietz Street and the July 16
walk Main Street west of Dietz.
I hope that you join us for one or both of the walks. Meet in front of the Oneonta History Center at 7:00 PM for the hour-long walks.
It’s free.
Thanks for considering it.
