The Society met for its annual meeting and Pot Luck Dinner on Friday, November 1st.  There was lots of good food and good company.  At the business meeting, following the dinner, the slate of new officers for the 2014 year was elected.  While there were some returning faces, we did elect a new President. Jim Horgan, a long time Farmington resident, was elected as the new President.  Former president Dottie Bean, took the Vice President position. The remaining officers kept their positions from the previous year.

Last year, the society began collecting information on the feasibility of digitizing the back issues of the newspaper that the Goodwin Library currently has on microfilm.  When completed, issues of the Farmington News will be available online. Members of the society were excited to finalize this project and are eager for its completion.  Among the various projects that the Historical Society will attempt to complete in the coming year will be to dehumidify the museum, begin an artifact cataloging project, open our online museum, and open the online issues of the Farmington News.
