Essay: MHS says ‘thank you’ to Cub Scouts, Gananda students
Linda Braun
It takes a community to maintain buildings and preserve the history of our area. On April 10, 2021, a group of local residents gathered to prepare our grounds and building for our new season. We especially want to thank Macedon’s Cub Scout Pack 166 and members of Gananda High School for helping us.
The Macedon Historical Society maintains two buildings in Macedon Center. The Academy and former Grange building have been gathering places in our community since the 1800s.
Members of MHS and these volunteers worked hard to rake leaves, pick up sticks and clean up the yards. Inside we washed windows, dusted, swept and organized our rooms for the season. MHS has an ambitious schedule for this year with exhibits, “Community Chats” and open houses. We invite all members of our community to check us out.
From the Historian: Macedon Historical Society says thank you

It is with great gratitude that we wish to thank the Bullis Fund and the memory of Auerelia “Nettie” Bullis for a donation of $10,000. The Bullis Fund is managed by the Rochester Area Community Foundation. We were recently notified of this award and we wanted to formally thank them for it.
Nettie Bullis grew up in Macedon at her home on Canandaigua Road, next to what is now Bullis Park. Nettie was a very intelligent woman who invested well. She was the personal secretary to James Gleason, president of Gleason Works. Nettie left a remarkable legacy following her death. In addition to Bullis Park and the Bullis Library located in the Macedon Public Library her legacy includes the Wayne County Endowment, Bullis Fund and several scholarship funds.
