2017 Review
The year was filled with many fine events and important steps forward in the evolution of the 1816 project. Restoration of the building and programs were both featured. Enthusiastic support and participation from so many made 2017 a great start to a third century!
Among the many 2017 programs supported through a Humanities New York grant, we featured several events, often cosponsored with other groups, to celebrate the centennial of women’s suffrage in New York.
A week-long “Vote-tllla,” organized by the Susan. B. Anthony Museum, brought crowds to the banks of the Erie Canal.
The work of our board was greatly amplified by several faithful volunteers, some of whom posed with one of our new interpretive displays.
Original posts and beams which have been stored in the upper level of the build- ing since relocation to its permanent site are now carefully inventoried in preparation for reconstruction of the storm-damaged sixth bay.
An attractive new sign created by Eagle Scout candidate Kurt Erway, adjacent to our future parking area, announces who we are to all who pass by.
The photos are but a sampler of a very active and productive year, indeed!
Our program committee has plans for an upcoming season of sometimes challenging and always educational presentations, which are listed inside this folder. Visit our website for details as each event draws near. We hope to see you as the season unfolds! We appreciate both your participation and financial support as we move ahead with restoration.
