March Lecture Rescheduled

Winter is looking to get in one more (hopefully) memorable storm for this year before the start of spring.

With so much snow and cold temperatures anticipated, there is a concern for maintaining safety.

The museum will reschedule its final lecture scheduled for March 14th at the Van Schaick Island Country Club. Paul Schneider will present his lecture "This little jaunt turned out to be extremely agreeable..." Little Known Accounts of Waterford  for the 28th of the month.

Mr. Schneider will be presenting his research to us in a fascinating lecture about Waterford history, based on the writings of two Scottish immigrants. One, a young Canadian law student who travelled through Waterford on a journey through New York State in 1826 and recorded his experiences in a journal that is now in the collections of the New York State Library. the other, a middle-aged immigrant who came to the United States in 1819 and permanently settled in Halfmoon in 1821. his extensive diary, now in the collections of the Rensselaer County Historical Society, offers unique insights into early Waterford.
