Past Events

During the past several summers, the Quincy Square Museum Association has sponsored
various programs about the history of Earlville and the surrounding area. These programs
have provided information about such items as the Parsons Low-Down Wagon, School
Days, the O&W Railroad, Prehistoric Native American archaeological sites, Eli
Perkins/Melville Landon, vintage clothing, the fur trade, covered bridges, antiques, the
Civil War, the Underground Railroad, the Chenango Canal, folk art, the Earlville Fire
Department, and education in the Earlville area. (The 2003 special program presented on
the Parson's "Low-Down" Wagon Works and the life of its owners included a restored
wagon at the museum for everyone to view.) The Quincy Square Museum Association
has also sponsored tours of various houses in Earlville. For information about future
