The Sullivan County Historical Society presented the 2017 “History Maker” and “History Preserver” awards at the society’s Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner which was held at the Rockland House in Roscoe on Sunday, October 1, 2017. The “History Maker” Award was presented to WVOS, the “Voice of Sullivan County” for seventy years and the first commercial radio station in Sullivan County. Susan and Robert Schock were presented with the “History Preserver” award for their preservation of a collection of documents from the “Republican Watchman”, the first newspaper published in Sullivan County. Susan and Robert, descendants of publishers of the newspaper, generously donated the collection to the society where it is available to all researchers.
Volunteers at the museum have been busy since the summer cleaning up collections on the lower level of the building that were damaged by broken water pipes.

The members of Columbia Hill Neighborhood Alliance (CHNA) are committed to their mission of sustainable development in Hurleyville and in the towns of Thompson and Fallsburg. The group continues to evaluate issues…water resources, traffic intensification, community character alteration and wildlife habitat depletion…that must be considered before development can be deemed sustainable and worthy of approval. Sustainable communities are places where people want to live and work, now and in the future. Hurleyville and the towns of Thompson and Fallsburg can be those places.
