Town of Gorham Historical Society Barn and Outbuilding Survey
Survey Form (pdf)

One of the Historical Society's projects for 2004 is to complete a survey of all the barns and outbuildings in the Town of Gorham built before 1940. We would also appreciate pictures of the structures. It is important to complete this survey before more of these buildings are lost.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY BUILDINGS, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PASS THIS FORM ON TO A NEIGHBOR OR FRIEND WHO DOES. Completed forms can be mailed to:
   Town of Gorham Historical Society
   P. O. Box 211
   Gorham, NY 14461

If you have questions about this project or need more forms contact Sharon Cornelius at 554-3204 or email colbou@frontiernet.net. Our Town of Gorham Supervisor, Richard Calabrese, has also agreed to have this form on the new Town of Gorham Website.

In the late 1940's and 1950's, aerial photos were taken of many farms. An invaluable record of agricultural Gorham. The Historical Society would like a collection of any that survived. If you have one of these aerial photos and don't want to donate it, the Society will have a copy made and return the original to you.
