Local History

The Olean Times Herald is running a short series of articles on local history. Here is he first about Allegany

From the Olean Times Herald
"If a person walking in downtown Allegany today was suddenly thrown back to the same location 100 years ago, he or she would likely recognize the buildings, street and community.

The fact that Allegany buildings and storefronts have remained much the same as they were over a century ago has added charm to the town that was founded in April of 1831 after breaking off from the town of Great Valley."

As the late Paul Harvey would say, I am going to tell you a bit more than I know next. Look for a history of Allegany project coming up soon in conjunction with our store. Stay tuned!
