In addition to monetary donations we also always appreciate your donations of historical items related to our area. Attached is a Deed of Gift Form for making a donation of any physical type.
We would prefer you contact one of our Trustees first to be sure the item is within our ability to receive and adequately store. For example, our storage and archives are limited in space and we would be unable to take, for example, a room full of furniture or a large quantity of items.
Thank you.

Our warmest "Thank
you" to Mr. Bob Kidd for donating an early map of
Jacob T. Walden's lands. The map believed to be a
copy is of Walden dated 1821. It is about 28 "wide
and 39" high and is of the proposed mill sites
along the east side of the Wallkill River.,

Our Thank
you to former Waldenites, Donald J. Bennett and
wife Dee of Rochester, NY, and Richard Bennett and
wife Lorraine of Gardiner, NY, for donating these
beautiful Walden High School Sports Letters--ALL
earned by their father Harold "Ben" Bennett. Ben
earned his first sports letter in football in 1930,
but after being forced to drop out of football
because of a sports injury, he went on to earn more
in Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, Track & Field in
1932-33, graduating in 1933. Don says he believes
the number was unprecedented at Walden High
School. |
 
Thank
you Charlene Doolittle Wynkoop...
for donating this lovely post card of the Villa Victoria
(Delmonico's) in Walden.
She
writes:
Post Card
of Villa Victoria came from the memorabilia I received from
my sister, Christine Doolittle Keigmich, upon her death. She
kept [several of the same card] them in her
possession for many years. She never shared with me why she
kept them, but I know she was familiar with the villa and
the Delmonico family.
