In July 1982 the Old Albany Post Road in the Town of Philipstown was awarded a listing in the State and National Registers of Historic Places. This 6.6 mile section of dirt road from Continental Village to Route 9 was recognized as one of the oldest unpaved roads in the nation still in use. The listings and recognition may be gratifying, but the honor is no guarantee of permanent road protection. The ORS was formed by a group of concerned residents
|
In recent years neighbors on intersecting roads have expressed an interest in joining the Society to work for common goals. To accommodate this desire the Society's by-laws have been modified so that all residents of adjoining roads may participate fully in our organization. The ORS Board meets monthly and is always open to anyone with questions or problems pertaining to the road or our community.
|
Over the years the ORS has played a helpful role and served as a moderating influence on Town decision-making, by attending Town Board meetings and keeping a watchful eye on pending development and legislation.
|
A family membership is $20 per year and helps us defray expenses for the mailing, our annual open meeting and pot luck supper and other programs. We hope you will join us. Welcome!
