3 The School Museum in Hemlock NY circa 1930 Located on Main Street Hemlock NY The Hemlock High School in Hemlock NY had a museum in its basement. The museum grew out of a suggestion of Mrs. R. Reed who donated her fine collection of stuffed birds and animals for the school pupils to visit and learn. At her suggestion Mr. Chauncey asked the Board for sufficient space and cabinets for the exhibition. Soon other persons became interested in the project and the idea of a museum for the community developed. Photo courtesy of Betty Larned Culbertson.
