Once again, the Lima Historical Society has teamed up with the Lima Public Library to present a historical program for Lima residents and the public. Don Dwyer, musician, singer and songwriter from Buffalo, will treat us to a live musical presentation of Civil War era music and stories of the period. He will discuss interpretations of the cultural meanings of the various songs and their social impact on people of the time.
This promises to be a lively, fun-filled evening, with a side of education. Bring the kids to learn about the life and times of the Civil War era more than 150 years ago.
The program will be held on Thursday, April 20th at 7 pm at the Lima Town Hall, 7329 East Main – second floor. The auditorium is handicap accessible via the elevator located at the west side door of the Town Hall. Admission is free.

Amherst Humphrey House – from Lima
With 67 historic structures, Genesee Country Village & Museum, located in Mumford NY, is the largest living history museum in New York State and the third largest in the United States. Please join Peter Wisbey, Curator of Collections, as he presents a history of the museum and its complicated and interesting process of development, as it now approaches its 25th anniversary.
Mr. Wisbey’s talk will highlight the three Lima buildings that were acquired and moved to the Genesee Country Village & Museum: the 1797 Amherst Humphrey House from West Main Rd. in Lima; the “Town Hall,” William Hamilton’s 1822 Inn from South Lima, as adapted for public use; and the 1850 Toll House —the southernmost of Lima’s two toll houses along the 23-mile Rochester and Hemlock Lake Plank Road.
Peter Wisbey is the Wehrheim Curator of Collections at Genesee Country Village & Museum – a position he has held for over 15 years. He was also the Executive Director of the Seward House Museum in Auburn. A native of Horseheads, NY, he graduated from St. Lawrence University with a degree in history and has two Master’s Degrees – one in History Museum Studies from SUNY Oneonta/the Cooperstown Graduate Program and one in American Material Culture from the University of Delaware/the Winterthur Program.
