There are a number of options from stands to restaurants for

At 7:00 PM we will have a Special
Fund Raiser in the Ballroom of the Miner's Cabin. Daryl Clark,
from Ellicottville, graciously donated his building at 3 Park
Square to IVHS. This helped us solve our problem with lack of
space for our growing collections. We were able to move all
the items from the third floor ballroom in the Miner's Cabin
to our new building. The funds raised will help us to begin
restoring the ballroom for events.
The event will be held upstairs in the old ballroom. The most
common request over the past years was to go up to see the third
floor. Now the public will be able to do so. Tickets
will be $10 for the general public and $5.00 for IVHS Members
whose dues are current. This will help us refinish
the floor, do various repairs, and decorate. We hope to add
a small bathroom.
Simeon Robbins had wonderful parties and balls on the third
floor. For years, Ten Broeck Academy held their proms there
too. We hope to open the ballroom to more public events and
venues.
Refreshments will be served and the program will be about the
adventurers from Franklinville who went to the Yukon to search
for gold. Simeon Robbins was the most successful member of the
group and his gold mine helped to build the Miner's Cabin. Tickets
will go on sale in July and can be purchased by calling 716-676-4018
or 716-353-0290.
