Whether you’re old enough to remember having Borden’s milk delivered to your door, or have always wanted to know what that stone building across the street from the Moffat Library was, our new exhibit has something to excite your curiosity and bring back fond memories to all! 


The exhibitYou Are Here: Local Landmarks in Images and Artifacts” is now on view in the Anthony J. Knipp Local History Room at the Moffat Library of Washingtonville and runs through December 2024.


Using artifacts and images from our library’s archival collections, we hope to bring the stories of our community to life, as they center around buildings and structures that have stood the tests of time!
