Explore the History of Gilboa  with our Tourism Map. It can lead you to our battle sites, biking trails, campgrounds, cemeteries, churches, and cross country and hiking trails. It also shows the location of our fire tower, fishing areas, places to ride a horse or have a picnic. Speaking of food, we have a world-class burger restaurant, and last—but not least—the Gilboa Museum and the reservoir. If you want to print the map, use tabloid (11 x 18″) paper or pick up a copy at the museum or Town Hall.

Pictures of the Village of Old Gilboa:  Historian Richard Lewis has 8 x 10 pictures of  original buildings in the village—we have archived high resolution copies, and thumbnails  are online (http://gilboahome.com/ghspublications/villagepictures/index.html).

The Gilboa Monitor was a newspaper published on Thursdays from December 19, 1878 to October 10, 1918. Lee Hudson has had our collection of these publications digitized—to date, she has located about 2/3s of the issues and we are now getting them on line (we’re up to the middle of 1880 and plan to have these issues all on line by the start of December).

• Click here to read specific issues of the newspaper or read them in chronological order. They are arranged in annual folders, with each PDF file having a complete 4-page paper. This is a work-in-progress, so bookmark the site—we currently have 3 early years and the 2 last years on line, and are adding more as we collate them.
• To search only the Gilboa Monitors, go to Fulton History’s index pages (this link will take you to page 7, and scroll down toward to “Gilboa Monitor).
• You can make broader searches where Gilboa Monitors are integrated with millions of other newspapers at either FultonHistory.com or nyshistoricnewspapers.org.
• These three sites and the New York State Library should all have the same publications—we are working cooperatively, but we are all on slightly different schedules.
