Historian

Department Services

The Town’s Historian maintains and preserves the historical records of the Town of Pittsford. Residents and out-of-town visitors look to this resource for answers to questions concerning ancestry, historic buildings, genealogy, and historical facts that may be found in books, artifacts, or newspapers.

The duties of the Historian are divided into four broad categories: research and writing, presentations, historic preservations, and organization and advocacy.

The Historian is available to give lectures and/or walking tours of the community and the cemeteries in the town. Educational tours by the Historian are often a part of the Pittsford Recreation Department programming. Contact them at (585) 248-6280 for exact dates and to register.
