Matthew Curtiss House Museum

Metal detector hobbyist and enthusiast Dave Wise will join us at the Matthew Curtiss House to share some of his historical findings over the years. He will share through his artifact findings what he has learned about early American life that may not be something you would read in a book. He will also be able to provide guidance and share advice if you are looking to dive into this hobby, yourself! Regardless of what part of American history interests you the most, you can be sure that Dave will have an artifact and a story to share!

This is a free event for the public, but donations are accepted and appreciated in order to continue offering events such as this.

There will be a short meeting before the lecture for elections and to vote on a proposed amendment to the by-laws. All members of the society are encouraged to attend and cast their vote.

The amendment reads as follows: "The Board of Trustees shall, when necessary, be authorized to meet remotely using electronic means. The Board shall also, when advisable, conduct it's meetings by means of a hybrid model, with remote attendance recognized as equal to in person attendance, and all votes, whether cast presently or remotely, shall be counted equally. A quorum at any Board meeting shall be determined as 2/5 of the total of Board members and officers eligible to vote being present in person or remotely; this definition of a quorum shall be deemed to replace any such definition previously specified in the By-laws."
