“I’m thrilled to be involved as a board member and as the new board president of the Delaware County Historical Society.  Not being a Delaware native, I’ve loved learning about the County’s history over the last 20 years.  Our history informs how we got where we are, and how we decide where we’re going.”

New Board President Dave Hejmanowski
