Welcome to the Scriba Historical Society’s website
We appreciate you taking the time to visit our site and expressing an interest in our town on the shore of Lake Ontario.
From the original charter of 1978:
The purpose of the Scriba Historical Society is:
“To preserve the cultural and historical records of the early Scriba pioneers and future pioneers including, but not limited to early schooling, early industries, cemeteries, burial records, school districting, and craftsman.”

We have resumed our ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS at the Scriba Municipal Building. The PUBLIC is invited to come and share their interest in local and family history or to seek answers to their research. We will continue through the summer on the 3rd Friday each month at 1:00pm. Our goal is to be able to pass our heritage down to the coming generations.
If you are interested in offering suggestions for
future programming and meeting issues, please
email us at scribahs@gmail.com so we can add
them to the agenda, and the ideas list. Be on the
lookout for a newsletter for details on upcoming
ideas and discussions had at the officer’s
meetings. Thanks!
Meetings are normally scheduled for the
second Tuesday of the month (may be subject to
change), and held at the Scriba Municipal Building,
42 Creamery Road, at 6:30 PM (unless otherwise
noted).
The coat of arms is that of the Scriba Family Association which was founded in Darmstadt, Germany in the 16th century. The family gave the town permission to use it when the 180th anniversary of Scriba was celebrated.
