Sally Chamberlin


After seventeen years as a resident of the Town of Pittsford, Sally moved into the Village eleven years ago to renovate her present home which was built in 1872. This enabled her to indulge a life long interest in old homes and local history.

She loves the easy availability of the path along the Erie Canal; the network of sidewalks for easy walking. I can step out my front door and within a few minutes buy pizza, go to the library, go to church, or go to the Village Hall. I am glad of the opportunity to contribute to the community in which I live.
