Vicky House, Oxford Town/Village Historian, will share her PowerPoint Presentation on the “Gang” that dominated upstate New York for decades. From counterfeiting, horse stealing, witness intimidation, rape and even murder, this family reigned over the countryside and left their mark in our history.
Whether or not you are a descendent of the Loomis family, you will want to hear what started their reign and how it ended. If you are a descendant of the Loomis family, we would love to hear what stories your ancestors shared with you.
Come to our monthly Family Game Night on Thursday May 16th at 5:30pm. We have game night at the library the 3rd Thursday of each month. Bring a game you love to play from home or play from the library’s collection. This is such a fun way to spend an evening!
