Nunda Historical Society

Nunda Livingston Co New York

The Town and Village Historian is an appointed Officer of the Town and Village of Nunda. The Historian's Office is a separate entity from the Nunda Historical Society. We are pleased, however, to offer this space to Mrs. Griffing, our partner in local history and as a tribute to Mrs. Marjorie Frost, Nunda's first Town Historian.
