Recently, Town Hall has been devoting energy into the design and implementation of a new town website. After many years with one design, we will be updating our municipal website in an effort to better serve residents and visitors. The site is being redesigned by Virtual Towns and Schools, a company that provides web design, application and maintenance services to municipalities and schools. This will be an exciting improvement to Harrison’s website, located at harrison-ny.gov.

In the old days, the legend goes, if they thought you were a witch they tied up your hands and feet – or weighed you down with stones – then tossed you into a well. It was a test, you see – if you floated, you were a witch. If you didn’t float, you weren’t a witch, but you were drowning. Oh well.
