The event, recorded by the Greece Historical Society, was part of the county’s bicentennial celebrations.

Bicentennial Snapshots

The Greece Historical Society shared brief videos. These videos help commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Town of Greece. This series started on Tuesday, March 22, 2022, and concluded on March 21st, 2023. This series has shared many details about the people and events that influenced the town’s evolution. The topics in the Snapshots were researched, written, and narrated by Maureen Whalen. All the snapshots are edited and produced by Pat Worboys. We hope that you will find these videos both interesting and informative.

Each snapshot will contain a description of the video. Some of the posts will contain information that is written to explain content that was not included in the video. This content is related to the video so you can understand its connection to the snapshot. They also include related articles that were written in the society’s newsletter. They have links to buy some of the books that the society has published over the years. These are to enhance the subjects that are covered in the Snapshots that are put together each week.
