Collection
Description: The Society has a museum in a carriage house built ca. 1885. A blog by the curator said that they have thousands of artifacts and an archive that includes a large collection of photographs from the 1900s, including those made from glass plates and reproductions from private collections. The website suggests that there is genealogical material, material on the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall, founded in 1817, for Native Americans and others, and information on the Sedgwick family which produced a Speaker of the House in the U.S. Congress and a Civil War general.
