Using Parson’s History of Rye, Bill Varrell’s “Rye on the Rocks,†and other published sources, Alex Herlihy of Rye Historical Society <\/span>has created a detailed time line of four centuries of Rye History and it is growing daily. Soon this time line will turn into a running narrative <\/span>and eventually a new history of the town.<\/span><\/p>\n Also included are details from his personal 20th<\/sup> century knowledge and that of others. It is this last category that information is needed. <\/span><\/p>\n If you have any facts, stories, anecdotes, myths or photos to loan etc., please send them to: <\/span>info@ryenhhistoricalsociety.org<\/span><\/a>. In addition, <\/span>the history will include historic newspaper accounts of Rye, primary sources in the museum such as probate, tax and other records,<\/span>town reports and many other print sources. However, it is the human stories, both direct and handed down from <\/span>earlier generations, which will truly enrich this history. In the future RHS will hold gatherings at which people can share stories which will <\/span>be used in the history. Also needed are volunteers to interview older members of the community and to help with other aspects of this new history project.<\/span><\/p>\n
