The Cattaraugus Free Library invites you to an Open House on Tuesday, December 3, 2019. The library is currently displaying the sculpture of an 8 foot tall replica of the Statute of Liberty. Donated to the Cattaraugus Historical Society by Karl Wittman who created the beautiful piece. It is an interesting story as to how Wittman and his family came to Cattaraugus when the Methodist Church in Cattaraugus sponsored the family during the "Cold War" period. Children are invited to create a Christmas ornament for the library tree or to take home. Light refreshments and music by the Bensons. Stop in any time between 5 and 7 PM Alson check out our other museums: The American Museum of Cutlery will be open. Tentatively we expect the Historical Society will be open.
