Birthday

MORAVIA - Milliard Fillmore earned his place in history as the 13th president of the United States and leading the country during a difficult period of history prior to the Civil War. For some 40 years, the historical society has been celebrating the president's birthday, but generally in a fairly quiet way, but this year it was decided that it was time to give the day a little more fanfare. From the balloons to the vivid happy birthday signs, the historical society house looked every bit the part of a place ready for a birthday celebration. From a marble table that stood in the White House to the family Bible to a silk shawl given to Fillmore's wife Abigail (also a Moravia native), by the emperor of China. Others, such as Auburn resident Eric Distin, also grew up in the village and used the day as a chance to bring their families to the celebration. More Birthday News
