Pittsford ... A Community Rich in History

"Pittsford is an area of beautiful homes and gardens, trees and historical buildings. The school has an excellent reputation as does the library. The municipal officers of both the town and village have paid particular attention to parks and recreational opportunities and have collaborated on many community events (from A Short History of Pittsford)."

Many of the following articles were written by the Town historian, Audrey Johnson and appeared in the local newspaper "The Brighton-Pittsford Post". Some are excerpts from the numerous works of former Town Supervisor, Paul Spiegel. (Please check back again, since additional items are added as they become available).
