In 1990, Delhi developers Mike McCafferty and Joe Strotman donated to the Delhi Historical Society the Joe Witterstaetter Homestead at 468 Anderson Ferry Road. A successful fund drive and generous donations of goods and services provided the means to turn this 1880s home into the Delhi Historical Society Museum and Headquarters, known as The Farmhouse. In 1993, the society set up the Delhi Historical Society Museum Endowment Fund to ensure that the house will be maintained for many years to come. Membership in the Delhi Historical Society has grown to nearly 300 individuals who receive a monthly newsletter and participate in programs of historic interest. We are proud of our more than 100 active volunteers who provide the skills to make our society first rate.
Membership is open to anyone interested in Delhi history.
The Delhi Historical Society exists as a steward of local history for the citizens of the township and surrounding area. The Delhi Historical Society offers a variety of programs at its regular meetings. The meetings, which are open to the public, are held at the Delhi Park Lodge on the second Monday of the month, excluding July, August and December. In addition, the society offers seminars and workshops on specialized topics at its headquarters at 468 Anderson Ferry Road. Each year since 1978, the Delhi Historical Society brings together a variety of exhibitors to showcase life in by-gone days.
