Julia Boyer Reinstein (November 3, 1906 – July 18, 1998) was an American teacher and historian who grew up in WNY and began her career teaching in South Dakota. After more than a decade of teaching, she became a founder of the Erie County Historical Federation and the first historian of Cheektowaga, New York. Committed to preserving the history of the area and educating citizens about their heritage, she and her husband were instrumental in donating properties for the establishment of a nature preserve, several libraries and to higher education. She was a subject of an anthropological study evaluating gender fluidity and the nature of being public about one's sexuality in the 1990s.
The Julia Boyer Reinstein Library is a favorite spot of ours. We've spent many hours here attending various programs and of course checking out books. If you are caching during open hours I encourage you to stop in for a visit and check out all it has to offer. Permission for cache placement was granted by the Cheektowaga Public Library director.
