The Brockport Community Museum is grateful for the continued partnership with Brockport Central School District working with us to update and replace this interpretative panel. Located in front of the A D Oliver Middle School the panel highlights the history of public education in Brockport and is dedicated to Fred W Hill who served as commissioner/superintendent for 44 years between 1902 - 1947.

We are sad to announce that the Trolley Depot historical marker has been taken from its location on Erie Street, and is presumed stolen. The marker came about through many years of work by several dedicated members of community, and serves to keep alive a unique moment in the history of Brockport.
