Hello Delhi - please let me introduce myself. I’m the Delhi Historian, Marianne Greenfield. I live in Delhi with my husband and 2 dogs. I’ve had a lifelong interest in old gravestones and cemeteries.

My first task will be the restoration of the The Old Delhi Burial Ground, also known as Court Street or Cherry Hill cemetery. I call it ‘Old Delhi’ because cemetery and burial ground are long and spell check doesn’t like them. Admittedly, it’s in a sad state of disrepair. But it’s not gone and we can be grateful for that. I’m working on a plan to restore the burial ground so please be patient.

The history of the Old Delhi Burial Ground: In 1813 General Henry Leavenworth purchased a square rod of land from George Fisher for the purpose of burying his wife. Others were invited to use this site for interment of deceased relatives. The graveyard was deeded to the Village Trustees in 1830 (in part) by Erastus Root and the remainder in 1849 by G.H. Edgerton. This Cemetery was located at the present day Court Street and High Street adjacent to the former Penfield Estate.

Dear Parents,

With summer in full swing, many of our children are spending more time outdoors, at the pool, or using devices to stay entertained. While this is a wonderful time for fun and relaxation, it's also important that we work together to keep our kids safe and healthy throughout the season.

Here are a few key safety tips to help make this summer enjoyable and accident-free:

☀ Sun & Heat Safety
 

• Encourage frequent water breaks to prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion.
   

🏊 Water Safety
 

• The community pool is now open for the summer! Please remember that children 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• Kayak rentals at Hoyt Park are now available—a fun way to enjoy the water! Be sure children wear properly fitted life jackets and are supervised at all times while on the water.
• Swim lesson sign-ups are now open at the Delhi Town Hall. We strongly encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity to help children gain confidence and essential skills in the water.
• Always supervise children closely near any body of water.
• Life jackets should always be worn when boating or around open water.
   

🚲 Outdoor Play Safety
 

• Ensure your child wears a helmet when biking, skating, or using a scooter.
• Teach them about road safety, including how to cross streets safely and obey traffic signs.
• Inspect playground equipment for safety and temperature—hot slides and swings can burn!
   

💻 Online Safety
 

• Monitor screen time and check privacy settings on apps and games.
• Talk with your child about avoiding contact with strangers online and reporting anything that feels uncomfortable.
   

🚨 Stranger Awareness & Emergency Info
 

• Remind your child never to go anywhere with someone they don’t know.
• Practice what to do if they get separated from you in public.
• Make sure your child knows their full name, their caregiver’s full name, home address, and at least one reliable phone number. This basic information can be critical in emergencies or if they become lost.
• Consider practicing this information regularly in a fun, memorable way. Summer is a time for making great memories—and with a little planning and awareness, we can make sure those memories are safe and positive. Thank you for being proactive and involved in keeping our children safe.
   

Wishing you a wonderful, safe summer with your family!
 

Warmly,
Detective Tiffany Croizer

July 7th 6PM

To all concerned merchants and residents within the Village of Delhi. We will be holding a community meeting in Village Hall to gather ideas, comments and commitments for a village grant proposal. Because we have filed and been approved as a pro-housing community, there are grants that have been opened up to us for our Main Street (Downtown) improvement and/or revival. These grants are for a substantial amount of money that would go a long way toward improving our community. Part of the process requires in-put from our entire village. The Village Board and Mayor are committed to attempting to embark on what could be a transformative initiative for the face of our village. We hope to have a good turnout!

If you cannot make this meeting, please stop in and talk with the Mayor when you can.

Scam Alert: Fake Publishers Clearing House Letters with Checks

Scammers are sending fake Publishers Clearing House letters that include a phony check, claiming you’ve won a big prize. It looks official—but it’s a scam. The letter may ask you to deposit the check and send money back to cover “fees” or “taxes.” Don’t do it! The check will bounce, and you’ll be on the hook.

PCH never asks winners to pay to claim a prize. If you get one of these letters, don’t respond!
