Local historian honored for volunteer work

As vice president of the local historical society, McIsaac is a leader amongst a group of volunteers whose mission is to preserve the past of their hometown. McIssac, who grew up and attended school in Franklin Square, has a special link to the community’s history and invests much time and energy into delivering historical knowledge to the community. She was also the first female to have her own delivery route of the local newspaper, the Franklin Square Bulletin.
    When the community recently collected one million pennies at local schools, Elizabeth took the time to count each and every one. Along with many years of organizing garage sales, fall festivals, dinners and building fund drives, Elizabeth’s extensive penny-counting symbolized her role as chief fundraiser. In fact, her fellow members say that without her, the Franklin Square Historical Museum would not have been built. Generations to come will benefit from Elizabeth’s hard work and dedication in preserving Franklin Square’s history, according to the town.
