Learn MoreGreetings all! Thank you for swinging by the Town of Newfane Historical Society's official website.
Having lived in Newfane all my life, I’ve always been inspired by the strong sense of community in our little town. As I’ve dug into our local history, it’s clear that this spirit has been a part of Newfane since its founding in 1824. One of the core missions of the Newfane Historical Society - and a personal focus during my time as president - is to preserve that history while continuing to support the community that keeps it alive. I’m honored to be part of this ever-growing group of passionate people who work tirelessly to celebrate and protect our shared past. A huge thank-you goes out to our incredible volunteers and to everyone in the community who supports us—you truly make this work possible.
Thanks again for stopping by. See you around town!
- Melissa Schaeffer , President
