The Parma Meetinghouse Museum
of Memories at 460 Parma Center Road just west of Route 259 houses a
collection of antiques, keepsakes, rare books and period clothing collected
by former Parma Historian Shirley Cox Husted
during her years in office.
Exhibits are arranged throughout
two floors in Parma's oldest house of worship, the former Parma Center Presbyterian
Church built in 1844. Events are sponsored by the Town of Parma and
have no connection with those of the Parma-Hilton
Historical Society located on the town hall grounds or the programs
of the Hilton
Village Historian in the Henry Street municipal building. All three
work independently to encourage historic preservation and help to achieve
public understanding of the local area's interesting history.
FREE TOURS of the museum
must be arranged by advance appointment. To book a tour, call Tom Burger at 392-2131. All contributions to the museum are tax deductible. |
