The Amity Heritage Society has held public meetings as an organization since the summer of 1997, the first of which was held at the Amity Elementary School. Currently our meetings take place in our building, the Fairview Union Sunday School, located at Fairview Chapel Road and Route 422 in Exeter Township. Our meetings are held bi-monthly on the third Sunday of the month from 1:30 to 4:30 and cover many different aspects of historical interest.

Attendance has been up to forty people, depending upon the interest in the various topics of our local heritage. The subjects of the meetings vary and include talks about historic preservation projects, displays of photographs of our area’s heritage, as well as reports about ongoing archaeological field projects. We also discuss in depth research projects of historical sites, villages, and historical buildings in and around our region. The business of the society is also conducted in which we report the group’s dealings.

In addition, these meetings provide an opportunity for many people to gather and socialize and share their items of interest or stories that help to make our local history come alive. Guest speakers have lectured on their particular area of expertise that many find very informative.

We invite all to come and share in this wonderful historical experience.
