Because of the interest generated by “Faces of Schenectady: 1715 -
1750” as well as brand-new research, support from the First Reformed
Church of Schenectady, and generous grants from the New York Council
for
the Humanities, and Schenectady County, the Schenectady County
Historical Society is offering a two day seminar this October!
For an application form go to
http://www.nnp.org/nni/Conferences%20&%20Seminars/Conferences/index.html
Participants will be able to experience, first hand, new research
related to eighteenth-century art, politics, and culture in
Schenectady
County. Along with one-of-a-kind lectures, SCHS is also offering a
one-on-one gallery talk with co-curator Ona Curran and a 17th century
Dutch Luncheon made possible by the Glen Sanders Mansion!
