NORWICH – The Chenango County Historical Society is partnering up to produce a documentary commemorating the 125-year anniversary of its current location, the Ward School No. 2 building.

Through a grant the society is collaborating with a local company to create the educational project.

As part of the project, the organization is looking for past students or staff who have attended the school before its closure in 1957. Filming for the documentary project begins next month.

The society hopes the documentary will be released by the end of the year.
