Tromptown Historical Society


The Tromptown Historical Society was founded in 1975 and chartered by the State Education Department in 1978. The group's focus has been collecting and preserving historical materials of DeRuyter and surrounding areas. These are housed in our museum on Utica Street in what was formerly the bank building.

Our society was also able to purchase and preserve the Seventh Day Baptist Church building. This was made possible with funds from our membership and other community members. Further information is available by clicking on the Church Project.

Our members will offer a number of programs this year, assist with genealogy searches and historical reports, and will work with the Yorkers group at the high school. We are participating in the Firemen's Field Days and are planning our second Fall Festival. Our group will be highlighted with a display at the Madison County Historical Society.

Additional information can be found on the DeRuyter Schools website and the Olde Town Folks website.
The Society is actively seeking new members and we always need additional donations. Membership and donations are vital to the existence of our organization. We need members to become involved with our existing projects and welcome new ideas and suggestions for new programs.

We meet at 7:30 pm on the second Sunday of each month. We presently meet in the Town Hall but eventually expect to meet in our Seventh Day church building. We always welcome guests, visitors and prospective members at our meetings. Please join us.
