Message to the community:
The Town of Pompey Historical Society is temporarily closed due to the pandemic. We look forward to being together again as soon as possible. If you have immediate needs, please contact our President, Anne Shelly.
Our Origin
The Town of Pompey Historical Society was established in 1976 as a result of the United States Bicentennial Celebration. The Town of Pompey Bicentennial Committee had planned two weeks of activities to celebrate this memorable occasion. The committee wanted to have lasting tributes after July 1976. It was decided that organizing an historical society and writing and publishing a two volume book (Pompey, Our Town in Profile) would accomplish that goal.
