The 2020 Lexington Historical Society calendars are made of pictures developed from dry glass negatives. Since this type of negative was discontinued around 1920 the pictures are at least 100 years old. The glass plate negatives belonged to Jane Hoffman, former West Kill resident, now living down south. Jane Hoffman came for a visit to West Kill awhile ago and gave the glass negatives to Shirley Van Valkenburgh. Shirley generously donated them to the Lexington Historical Society. Harvey Truesdell asked Chris Protopapas of Lexington to develop the dry glass negatives and the photos were then donated by Harvey to the Historical Society.

Due to an increase in printing costs, the 2020 calendars are once again being sold for $15 each or two for $25. By purchasing one of these calendars you not only get to have a fine calendar, but you are helping to support the Historical Society. Calendars may be purchased at the Lexington Municipal Building from the Town Clerk or the Town Historian or by calling Lorraine at 518-989-6646.
