“Coffee and Conversation with Supervisor Dwyer”. I am inviting residents to sit down, have a cup of coffee with me, and discuss the issues that matter most to our residents and your families. This inaugural “Coffee and Conversation with Supervisor Dwyer” series will be an informal, open-dialogue forum that gives residents a chance to meet directly with me, ask questions, provide feedback, and learn more about Town of Warwick initiatives and services. At this event, I will be joined by town department heads to enhance accessibility and transparency. The first “Coffee and Conversation with Supervisor Dwyer” will be held on Tuesday, April 14, from 9 to 10 a.m. at One Oakland, located at 1 Oakland Avenue in the Village of Warwick. All residents are welcome to attend; no RSVP is required. This forum will happen monthly in different parts of town each month. For more information or to host one of these gatherings, contact Supervisor Dwyer at supervisor@townofwarwickny.gov.
The Warwick Historical Society invites the community to celebrate its 120th birthday with a special open house on Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. New this year, the Society is launching a Time Travelers Passport Program designed for children ages 10 and under. Young historians will receive a WHS passport and travel from property to property, answering a question at each site to receive a stamp from the docent. Once all locations have been visited and stamped, participants may return to the A.W. Buckbee Events Center to show their completed passport and select a prize! Visitors should begin their journey at the A.W. Buckbee Events Center (2 Colonial Ave.), where they can pick up maps of the open properties, passports for young ones, enjoy light refreshments, and meet members of the Society’s Board and staff.
