Parma-Hilton Historical Society

The Parma-Hilton Historical Society consists of a group of volunteer community members dedicated to: PRESERVING; DISCOVERING; SHARING; DISPLAYING AND DEMONSTRATING artifacts and aspects of the history and culture of the town of Parma and the village of Hilton communities. The P-HHS is a non-profit, no income organization. All community Historical societies are chartered by the Board of Regents, Department of Education, New York State. Originally the members met in homes. From 1975 to 1980 the P-HHS operated a museum with regular hours and held regular displays and demonstration s for school children and the community, on the second floor of the Old Henry Street School (Community Center). From 1980 to the late 1990s, all artifacts were stored in a storage area in the community. Considerable loss and damage occurred. At this time, the Society has its own building to the north of the Play Area at the Parma Town Complex at 1300 Hilton Parma Road. Our current focus is on resurrecting artifacts that had been in storage. In the planning stage is an addition that will house our display area. There are approximately 100 paid members this fiscal year. Membership fee is $10 annually and is payable in May. Membership is open to any person interested in our community's history. Meetings are held at 7 PM at our History Building on the third (3) Monday of each month - with several exceptions, such as a 'visitation' program. Visitation programs take place when we travel to an historical location. A program follows a business meeting. Meetings are open to the public and are free unless a cost needs to be absorbed. Then a nominal fee is charged. Contributions of artifacts, memorabilia, and/or financial are accepted and appreciated. All meetings and programs are free and open to the public.
