We've been to Herkimer a few times in the past, but there's always more to discover. In celebration of the Herkimer County Historical Society's new book and our new sponsor, Skinner Auto, we return to Herkimer this week to see what we can see.
Thanks for traveling with us, Lance and Sharry

The Adirondack Spirit of Giving
Knitters from the Old Forge area, including members of the Pointed Pine Quilters, have knitted hundreds of hats and mittens to keep needy children in the Utica area warm this winter. Old Forge Hardware is the drop-off point and also donates yarn to knitters. Volunteers of the annual Clothe-a-Child project met at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish and matched up hundreds of coats, hats and mittens, preparing them for distribution to needy children in the Utica area.
The Christ Child Society is a national organization that is devoted to caring for needy children. The organization was founded in 1887 and has over 31 chapters throughout the United States.

Herkimer County Historical Society
The Herkimer County Historical Society is located on Main St. in the 1884 Suiter Building - a Queen Anne style building located at 400 North Main Street in Herkimer. This building was a legacy to the Herkimer County Historical Society in 1925 by Dr. A. Walter Suiter, a prominent citizen and physician. It was named in memory of Dr. Suiter's father, Col. James A. Suiter, a noted Civil War veteran.
