One-room schoolhouse, Irishtown, NY
Donated to the Society by the Brannon/Savarie family, the one room school house in Irishtown is our newest project. Restorations to this building have been completed by the Society, due to the contributions from local citizens, so visitors can now appreciate school days of the late early 1900's.

Every September, K-6 grades from Minerva Central School visit the Museum. The Society sponsors an Essay Contest with an awards ceremony at the Museum in October, We are dedicated to encouraging children's knowledge of Minerva history. 
The 2022 Exhibit, Pairs, was greatly enjoyed by MCS students.
