The featured exhibit will be the newly acquired Franklin Hanford Papers about village social life in Scottsville and Windom Hall use from 1890 to 1920. In 1892, the new Windom Hall, with its large auditorium and modern stage, became the center of Scottsville social life, and was used by many active groups. Copies of posters, programs, and invitations to dances, plays, church and school events make up the large collection of Hanford papers. Topics covered are auctions, dramatic club productions, temperance meetings, church socials, band concerts and Lodge and Eastern Star events. Windom Hall is now the Scottsville Free Library, and retains all of its former grandeur. Franklin F. Hanford, born in 1844, lived in Scottsville for most of his life. He attended the village school and Rochester Free Academy. Hanford received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy and spent 30 years in the service of his country, retiring as a Rear Admiral in 1903. In his retirement, Hanford returned to his home in Scottsville and followed his interest in studying the history of the local area. As a member of the Scottsville Literary Society he published several papers, and collected memorabilia including posters, invitations and programs about local activities. Hanford's large collection of correspondence and papers on his career are now in the University of Rochester Library and the New York Public Library manuscript collections.
