We grieve with all of Brockport and the larger community for the fire that severely damaged our magnificent Morgan Manning House on the night of January 14th. It felt like so many personal memories of events at the House and on its grounds went up in the smoke. Yet we have much to be thankful for—beginning with the Morgan Manning board members who spotted and reported the fire, the numerous fire companies that answered the call and stayed for hours, the pizzas, food and drinks donated by local restaurants to feed the fire crews, Brockport Police who monitored foot and vehicle traffic in the area, our Village Building inspectors/fire marshalls who determined that the building was still structurally sound, and the many government officials and citizens who shared their thoughts in person and writing on the tragedy and offered to help.
Brockport is resilient, Brockport is determined; the Village stands ready to assist the Morgan Manning in its recovery.
