Little Falls Historical Society Museum Events
This day in history: September 20
1982
The new expansion of the Little Falls Public Library has opened. The addition was beautifully designed to match the architecture of the original building. The opened space allows for the library to display their extensive collections of Little Falls diamonds and other rare collectables.
1983
With a solemn final toast, “The Last Man’s Club” of Little Falls played out its final chapter and was dissolved. Formed in 1919 by twelve members of the glee club at St. Mary’s Academy, the group met at an annual dinner at Kane’s Tavern to toast deceased members. Phil Wlll uncorked a vintage bottle of 1939 white Bordeaux for the final toast.
