We are governed by a board of trustees, who usually meet once a month. Our current line-up is: OFFICERS President: Judy Knapp Vice President: Ruthie Gammons Treasurer: Donna Garner Archivist: Celeste Snitko Curator of the Museum: Russell Bastedo Trustees: Laura Elcoate, Phil Gammons, Sara Germain, Sarah Katka, William Katt, Meg Page and Bronson Shonk. We also operate a small museum in an old one-room schoolhouse on Main Street just below the current elementary school. The museum is open in the summer on Saturday mornings from 9-noon. At all other times, the museum is open by appointment. Please call and ask for Russell Bastedo. Our main collection of letters, photos, documents, books etc. are kept in the Dublin Archives located behind the Dublin Town Hall. See our Archives page for more information. We welcome submissions to the historical society: books, letters, documents, photos, et al, that pertain to Dublin. If you are having a good “clear out” and don’t know what to do with that box of letters (and they have to do with Dublin or Dublin residents, past and present), give us a call before you go to the dump!
