NEW BERLIN – In the 87 years since it was founded, the Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) has commemorated community heritage, highlighting unique local landmarks and celebrating significant regional milestones. As a tribute to this enduring legacy, a celebration of the 195th birthday of the Horace O. Moss House and the 80th anniversary of the building’s stewardship by the Preferred Mutual Insurance Company will be held in collaboration with the CCHS annual membership meeting. The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 5 at 45 S. Main St., New Berlin.

“We are so grateful to be collaborating with Preferred Mutual as we continue NY250 programming in Chenango County,” said Jessica Moquin, CCHS executive director. “This opportunity combines our annual membership meeting with a memorable experience in a beloved historic landmark.”

Four years ago, CCHS announced a refreshed and updated membership program, with streamlined categories and expanded core benefits. A selection from seven membership categories offers benefits for two adults at the same address, which extend to all persons 18 or under who reside with adult members.

First established in 1939, CCHS is the area’s premier heritage museum dedicated to celebrating local culture—its unique traditions and noteworthy stories. Programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. CCHS is also a proud partner of Bloomberg Connects, an app that allows visitors to enhance their exhibit experience through audio clips, videos, and more.
