Cornwall Historical Society        Home Background Town History Photos More Information Who We Are   The Cornwall Historical Society is a volunteer group interested in documenting the unique history of Cornwall, Vermont. Previous community members documented the early history of Cornwall in detail. It is the historical society's intent to continue this tradition. In 1989, the society printed Stuart Witherell's History of Cornwall Houses and Their Inhabitants, which begins where Rev. Lyman Matthews' 1862 History of the Town of Cornwall left off. Since 1989, the Cornwall Historical Society has seen fluctuating levels of activity. In the late 1990's the society was completely inactive. However, late in the summer of 2000, members of the community decided to reconvene. When the town's old general store went up for sale after sitting untouched for nearly seventy years, concerned Cornwall residents started the historical society up again to come up with a strategy to preserve the building. In the months since, over 40 Cornwall citizens have joined the historical society. The Cornwall Historical Society welcomes all interested community members. The group meets every other month at the Cornwall Town Hall. For more information, contact Cy or "T" Tall, at 462-2003 or ctall@cdtmarketing.com.
