The Voorheesville Public Library preserves a modest but important local history archive. The majority of the materials highlight the history of Voorheesville and the Town of New Scotland. Voorheesville, New York: A Sketch of the Beginnings of a Nineteenth Century Railroad Town by Dennis Sullivan, Village Historian, is an excellent starting point to learn about the history of Voorheesville.

To access the collection please contact the library’s archivist, Lea Foster at lea.foster@voorpl.org.
