  It may have taken 30 years, but the G. W. Jones House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, now has an official sign.

   The signage was obtained through a grant from the William G. Pomeroy Foundation which “supports the celebration and preservation of community history.”

  Since 2005, the Foundation has funded more than 2,400 signs across the country.  The Foundation’s six signature grant programs include Hungry for History, Legends & Lore, National Register, Hometown Heritage, NYS Historic and Historic Transportation.
