Naples Historical Society presents…

Naples and the Civil War

150 years ago, in 1872, Naples Memorial Town Hall was built to honor more than 200 Neapolitans who fought in the Civil War. It is one of only two buildings in New York State erected as a memorial to those who served in the Civil War (other towns erected statues or monuments). It is one of three buildings in Naples listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To celebrate this important anniversary, the Naples Historical Society is planning activities throughout the year related to the Civil War.
