“History Maker” and “History Preserver” awards are presented by the Sullivan County Historical Society every year to deserving individuals. The honorees for these awards personify the stated mission of the society…the preservation of Sullivan County history for the enlightenment of future generations.
Usually the recipient of the “History Maker” award has had a long, notable and accomplished career. Corporal Russell D. Sprague died in the trenches in France in 1917 and never had that opportunity. A native of Parksville, he was 19 years old and the first boy from Sullivan County to lose his life in World War I.
The Sullivan County Historical Society has honored Russell’s patriotism and sacrifice by naming him the “2018 History Maker”.
Jackie Horner gained fame and notoriety as a consultant for the 1987 film Dirty Dancing which was inspired by the resorts in the Catskills. She continued her renowned career as a dancer and a dance instructor in Sullivan County for more than fifty years. The Sullivan County Historical Society has honored Jackie Horner by naming her the “2018 History Preserver”.
Please call 845-434-8044 for information on the Annual Awards Presentation Dinner which will be held on Sunday, October 21st at Bernie’s Holiday Restaurant in Rock Hill.
