Congratulations to Teyah Graves, our 2026 Post Secondary Award recipient
2026 Post Secondary Aware
The Minerva Historical Society is pleased to announce that Teyah Graves has received a Minerva Historical Society’s Post-Secondary Award in the amount of $3,000. This award recognizes students pursuing post-secondary education and training beyond the traditional four-year college path.
Following graduation, Teyah plans to begin her studies at SUNY Adirondack, where she will complete her core coursework before transferring to Paul Smith's College to earn a bachelor's degree in Arboriculture and Landscape Management. In her application to the Scholarship Committee, Teyah described her internship at It's About Thyme Farm, where she has gained valuable experience in horticulture while learning the importance of hard work. She plans to continue working there through the season, saving for tuition and transportation as she prepares for college. She shared that the award would provide the head start she needs by helping to cover the cost of supplies required for her education. Although the Mabel Jones Scholarship was not awarded to a graduating senior this year because no applicant met the scholarship's four-year college requirement, the scholarship continues to benefit past recipients while the Society's Post-Secondary Award expands |
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. |
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.
