Hitchcock was born in Westfield on July 19, 1823. He became a successful business man and large land owner in Orleans County. The building was completed in 1899. Aaron Hitchcock died on March 1, 1900. The museum and library continue as a monument to his memory, generosity and interest in the youth and citizens of Westfield. |
