Our mission

Keeping the story of a hamlet alive

Since its inception in 1964, the society's mission has been to gather and disseminate information concerning the history of the town of Williamson, Wayne County, New York — and of the unincorporated hamlet of Pultneyville in particular.

Williamson was established February 20, 1802 and named for Captain Charles Williamson, the land agent originally selected to develop the land, which was part of the Phelps-Gorham purchase. In 1806, the settlement now known as Pultneyville was developed by Jacob Hallet, a land agent for the Pulteney Estate.
