There is a permanent exhibit at “The Military Room” at the Sullivan County Museum. The ex­hibit, honoring Sullivan County veterans from the Civil War through Desert Storm, includes uniforms and memorabilia. One of the areas of the exhibit is dedicated to Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Francis Currey, a long-time resident of Hurleyville.

The museum is interested in hiring someone to shovel snow this winter. Please call Pat Burns at 845-434- 8044 for more information.

The museum, located at 265 Main Street in Hur­leyville, is open on Sunday from 1:00pm to 4:30pm and from Tuesday to Sat­urday from 10:00am to 4:30pm.

The Hurleyville United Methodist Church serves our community in a variety of ways.

The Bread of Life Food Pantry at the church pro­vides food for at least 40 families each week. The food pantry is open each Thursday (except the 1st Thursday of each month) from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. The volunteers at the food pantry also provide free clothing for families-in-need on the last Thursday of each month.
