Our Current Projects
House Project
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, after David Hurlin sold Goodell Company, he felt time hanging heavy on his hands. He decided to start a project of documenting the older houses in Antrim. This involved a great deal of research as he attempted to list houses from their beginning to present, with as many owners down through the years as he could find. He also researched dates and included any old pictures he could find. In 1993, he presented his work to the Historical society and it has been a valuable resource since then for folks looking into the history of their houses.
The Historical Society decided we should add to David’s record, so copies have been made and new notebooks are being put together with house numbers, up to date information and current pictures. The first notebook includes Main Street from Bennington Town Line to Smith and Goodell Roads, Grove Street, Elm Street and Elm Street Extension.

Robert Caughey
A number of years ago, Robert Caughey, (1914-1994) a lifelong resident of Antrim, made many contributions to the livelihood of Antrim. He held numerous patents, including several in the press wood/chip wood business. His lab and three-shift business on Water Street provided employment for many local residents for many years.
We are interested in any anecdotal or historical material and information relating to his accomplishments.
