Local Lansing books now on sale at The People's Market!

Louise Bement has brought us a nice selection of local Lansing books. The books have recorded the local history and are very interesting! A few of the books were written by her 4th grade classes in 1976, 1977, 1981,  1984. The various books are by Louise Bement, Nellie Tucker Minturn, Carol Kammen and  Isabelle H. Parish as well as the Privy Revelations which is a combined group effort by The Outhouse Project.
Books are titled International Salt Memory Book, The Rock Salt Mine, Portland Point Memory Book, Cayuga Lake 1900-1982, It Happened in Lansing, Town of Lansing It's Beginning, More Bits and Pieces of Lansingville History, Place Names of Tompkins County, and my personal favorite Privy Revelations featuring the outhouses of Lansing!
Can't wait to read a few of these and learn more about the great place of Lansing NY!
