GRAHAMSVILLE, NY (May 5, 2011) – A new museum is coming to Sullivan County this June.

Time and the Valleys Museum will open the doors to a new museum facility in Grahamsville, NY. Within this brand new facility will be three floors of exhibitions on local history and the watershed area, a research center and museum shop.

The Museum is currently seeking interested individuals, young and old, who would like to become involved in the Museum at this exciting time.

Volunteers are needed in the reception area, Museum Shop, as exhibition guides, in the research center and offices.

It’s easy, worthwhile and fun. All information and training will be provided. Volunteers can help one or two afternoons a month or more, whatever suits their lifestyle, as much or as little as they like.

Get more information (and refreshments) at a Volunteer Open House on Thursday, May 12 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Neversink Town Hall, second floor on State Route 55 in Grahamsville.

The Time and the Valleys Museum is a living and interactive resource that preserves the past, educates the present and ensures the uniqueness of the Rondout and Neversink watersheds for all generations. Currently located in the Neversink Town Hall, the Museum provides educational programming for the public and is actively raising funds to install exhibitions in the Museum’s new home, 332 Main Street, Grahamsville.
