"Our village and school system have over the years shown a strong “sense of identity”. We take pride in having a strong police presence, rapid and dependable fire protection, and an outstanding Street Department. A look into our past can be observed at the original Village Hall opened in 1897 on East 14th Street. A dedicated, all-volunteer group known as the “Elmira Heights Historical Society” has maintained and upgraded this facility since 1980 where the past comes alive. "
