Happy Holidays From The Historic Association Of Lewiston

The Historic Association of Lewiston wishes everyone a joyous holiday and happy New Year in 2026.

The association hosted a Sunday brunch Dec. 14 at Apple Granny Restaurant for 81 of its members, volunteers and sponsors. The annual event is the association’s way of thanking those people for everything they do, said Executive Director Patti Mahoney.

After the holidays, the association will resume its monthly local history programs, with its first event in 2026 scheduled at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22. Greg Gerstung of the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society will present “By Trolley to Olcott.”

The monthly program, held at the Lutheran Church of the Messiah Fellowship Hall at 915 Oneida St. in Lewiston, is free and open to everyone.
