96th REUNION 2018
BACK TO OUR ROOTS! AUGUST 4TH, 2018
2018 WILL BE THE BEST REUNION EVER!!!
The 96th Buffum Family Reunion will be a fabulous multi-day event! THURSDAY, AUG. 2nd. We will visit the gravesite of our founder, Robert Buffum (above). This is the most exciting genealogy journey for Buffum's. Robert Buffum owned the surrounding land and his offspring farmed and developed almost 2000 acres. There are many Buffums in the cemetery and the Memorial stone erected by the Buffum Association has a history of hardships and progressions that began the wave across the country. Also, we will explore the private Buffum Cemetery that was found by accident! Our Genealogist, Cynthia Whitham and Museum Director, Dr. Tom DiSessa were driving through the countryside and found this small cemetery. Only they know where it is and it holds many secrets!! In the evening, we will meet for fellowship, happy hour and finding relatives through our Genealogy. A Salem dinner will top off the evening. FRIDAY, AUG. 3rd. Through Cynthia's hard work, we will view the original deeds, documents and family papers at the Salem History Library. We are very lucky to have the opportunity to see and touch family documents centuries old. this library is a treasury of early Salem life. The rest of the day will be exploring the Salem waterfront and the many Museums and attractions nearby. From spooky to educational, there is something for all members of the family. Once again, we will meet for dinner and updating Genealogy lines with our Genealogist and Historian. REUNION SATURDAY, AUG. 4th The Buffum Family Association, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. We are required to conduct a General Meeting of Members and report on the status of the corporation. The officers and board of directors are nominated and elected during the meeting.
