The Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) in Delhi is offering a new program for those interested in local history! The “Past by Post” program is a service that sends participants a bi-monthly mailing that includes a high-quality copy of a historic letter from our archives, a typed transcription of the letter for easier reading, and a page of information about the writer of the letter and their circumstances. The program will run for six months, with participants receiving a total of 12 letters.

Thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation of South Central New York, this program is offered for free! Anyone interested in having history delivered to their mailbox should send their name and mailing address to DCHA at dcha@delhi.net or by calling 607-746-3849.

Looking to give this historic letters program as a gift? Let us know and we'll send the recipient a note that they have been gifted a subscription to the “Past by Post” program, which explains the program and when letters will be mailed out.
