Please join us for an interesting program being presented by the Town of Phelps Historian, Chris Tiffany. This program will focus on the history of the Phelps fire companies over the years. Due to many devastating fires in the Village of Phelps from the 1860's through the early 1900's, many fire companies started forming around the village. At one point 4 were in existence at the same time.
