Origin Story

The Town of Pompey Historical Society was established in 1976 by Town residents as a way of celebrating the United States Bicentennial. The Town of Pompey Bicentennial Committee planned two weeks of activities to celebrate this memorable occasion. The Committee wanted to have lasting tributes after July 1976. It was decided that organizing an historical society and writing and publishing a two volume book (Pompey, Our Town in Profile) would accomplish that goal.
