SUMMARY:Curator’s Tour: Luther Forest: A Family\, a Woodland\, A Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Join our director/curator for a guided visit to our new exhibition!\n\n\nThroughout the month of May\, we are welcoming visitors to our new temporary exhibition\, Luther Forest: A Family\, A Woodland\, A Legacy\, with guided tours led by our director and exhibition curator\, Anne Hollmuller. On May 16\, May 23\, and May 30\, join Anne on a small group tour of our new temporary exhibition\, where she will discuss the history and evolutions of Luther Forest\, our Luther-Mackay family archive\, and the curatorial process. Members $0\, Non-Members $5. \nAt the turn of the twentieth century\, Thomas Clements Luther\, the owner of a popular resort hotel on Saratoga Lake\, began building the forest that would bear his name. Ultimately encompassing 7\,000 acres in Malta and Stillwater\, Luther Forest was the largest private reforestation project in New York. Despite the challenges of growing development and government intervention\, five generations of the Luther-Mackay family have worked to cultivate and conserve Luther Forest\, leaving a treasured legacy for future residents of Saratoga County.  \n\nThis exhibition forms a part of our Spotlight on Malta History series\, which was generously supported by a grant from the GlobalFoundries/Town of Malta Foundation. This exhibition was curated by Dr. A.L. Hollmuller\, and installed in partnership with Field Horne and Marianne Bez. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:A Thousand Thousand Slimy Things: A Natural History of the Sea from the Bottom Up
DESCRIPTION:From sea serpents to seaweed\, slimy things have long tended to lurk among the frontiers of natural knowledge\, reflecting not only the anxieties of each age but also\, in many cases\, new possibilities. At once generative and destructive\, mysterious and manifest\, and masculine but sometimes feminine\, slime flowed through oceanic understanding and welcomed new people to contribute to it\, thereby producing natural knowledge both literally and figuratively “from the bottom up.” Across an expanding Atlantic world Africans\, Native Americans\, women\, and even pirates described the ocean’s currents\, creatures\, and coastal environments\, adding their observations to the growing body of knowledge about the physical and biological makeup of the sea. Indeed\, as this presentation posits\, close focus on the sea’s slimy things and the curious people drawn them may even provide new ways of imagining the ocean’s present and future. \nChristopher L. Pastore is Associate Professor of History at the University at Albany\, State University of New York\, where he teaches courses in environmental history\, early America\, and the Atlantic world. He holds a Ph.D. in History and M.S. in teaching from the University of New Hampshire\, an M.F.A. in nonfiction creative writing from New School University\, and a B.A. in Biology from Bowdoin College. He is the author of Between Land and Sea: The Atlantic Coast and the Transformation of New England (Harvard University Press\, 2014) and is currently writing an environmental history of the Atlantic world from the ancient period through the nineteenth century. \nYour donations power everything we do. For this event\, there is a suggested donation of $5. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Near The Forest\, By The Lake With Angela E. Douglas
DESCRIPTION:Meet Angela E. Douglas\, the biologist and author of Near the Forest\, By the Lake\, a collection of essays about the natural world\, and the wonders of life in her little corner of Upstate New York. \nI am fortunate to live close to a natural world dominated by forests and woodlands\, and by lakes and ponds. Being a writerly sort of person\, I find myself expressing my enthusiasm in words. As I walk in a local landscape\, something attracts my attention and sets me thinking about the biology or history or some quirky feature of a particular species or location. Rafts of ducks take up residence on the lake in winter\, sycamore trees shed great chunks of bark in the summer heat\, swallows nest in tree snags marking a beaver pond\, and the hush of a hemlock grove muffles the sound of the nearby creek. Our task is only to pay attention to the natural world close to home: to appreciate the great diversity of organisms\, to take pleasure in the familiar and the unexpected\, to value what each season brings\, and to acknowledge the impact of human activities on our world\, for both good and ill. \nBio: The natural world has always fascinated me. I don’t know why\, other than that I come from the New Forest\, a place of ancient woodlands\, heath\, and open pasture close to the sea\, in the south of England. I became a professional biologist\, a career that took me up and down the UK\, from Oxfordshire to Aberdeenshire. And then\, when the children left home\, my husband and I did likewise. We landed jobs at Cornell University\, giving us the opportunity to explore the magnificent Finger Lakes. \nOn Sunday 22nd March 2020\, I wrote a short essay about our small and unremarkable backyard. I didn’t realize it at the time\, but I had started a new chapter in my life. The weekly essays about my backyard over the following pandemic year evolved into a book\, Nature on the Doorstep (Cornell University Press\, 2023). I kept on writing\, and Near the Forest\, By the Lake\, my second book of essays about the local natural world\, was published\, also by Cornell University Press\, in 2025.

SUMMARY:Indie Film Fundraiser: Her Self Inflicted Decapitation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fundraiser to support local film!\nMeet the filmmakers and stars of a new short film\, filmed in the galleries and archives of SCHC! \n\nIn 1842\, Sarah Aldridge murdered her Father then removed her own head; a century and a half later\, a curious filmmaker digs through Sarah’s writings seeking inspiration\, but finds her life and Sarah’s bound across time and space in mysterious ways.\n“Her Self-Inflicted Decapitation” is a ghost story following Sarah W.\, a struggling screenwriter trapped in a thankless sitcom writers’ room. Dreaming of writing stories that resonate with her\, she spends a day in the Brookside Museum\, studying Sarah Aldridge’s journal. As she explores the house and digs deeper into Sarah’s story\, she realizes the two share more than a name. And that the horrifying end that Sarah A. met may await Sarah W. as well.\n\nBut this is more than a ghost story. It’s a story about being controlled by forces outside of us\, both those of this world and those not. And how two woman sought to escape their bonds through art. It’s a story about storytelling. It’s eerie\, slowburn psychological horror focused on creeping dread more than explicit violence. The type of quiet horror that makes you wonder if maybe there’s something very wrong with this place.\nAll donations to this event will go to support the costs of filming and producing this independent film\, which will be shooting at SCHC in early March. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Experts Next Door: African American Women and Expatriate Life in Independent Senegal
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia first set foot in Senegal in 1966 thanks to a personal invitation from the country’s president\, Leopold Sedar Senghor. Originally from Washington D.C. and a graduate from Dunbar High School\, Sylvia went to Trinity College for women in 1954 just months after the Brown v. Board of Education decision integrated the college\, making Sylvia one of the first four African American women to attend the school. At Trinity\, Sylvia’s scholarly interests in French and Latin flourished\, sending her on a path to becoming a Fulbright scholar in France\, a Woodrow Wilson Fellow\, and PhD candidate at Fordham University. However\, Sylvia’s life transformed one night in 1966 when meeting Senegalese President Senghor at a Howard University happy hour. Sylvia impressed President Senghor with her scholarship on his poetry\, the subject of her dissertation\, and he invited Sylvia to teach in Senegal for one year. One year became thirty years\, and Sylvia Washington became Sylvia Washington Bâ. \nThis presentation shares Sylvia’s story as an African American woman in independent Senegal’s cosmopolitan capital city of Dakar. She taught comparative French and African literatures\, Black feminism\, and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade at the large public university in Dakar before many American universities had such classes. While Sylvia’s story is singular in its uniqueness\, she fostered a community of numerous other African American female expatriates in Senegal\, many of whom did important work to bring both sides of the Atlantic together through professional life\, academia\, and kinship. Following the questions posed in the first part of this series on female expatriates in Paris: how did race\, nationality\, and gender morph the experiences of African American women living in Dakar\, Senegal since 1960? What epistemologies did these women create that put life as African Americans and colonized Africans into conversations? How did their private lives\, marriage to Senegalese men\, and blended families transform their expatriate experience? \nThis talk forms part of a two-part Women’s History Month series\, Women in Migration: Epistemologies and Expatriation from the United States to the Francophone World.  \nJulia Woods is a Ph.D. candidate in the joint program between the History Department and the Institute of French Studies at New York University. She received a B.A. in French and History with a concentration in African Studies from Kalamazoo College (2020) and an M.A. from NYU’s Institute of French Studies (2022). As a doctoral candidate\, Julia studies Senegal as a political foothold to West Africa for France and the United States between colonialism and the Cold War. In her dissertation\, she brings her research close to home by asking how Midwesterners came to know about Africa and Africans in the 20th century\, and vice versa. Originally from Michigan\, Julia traces generations of individuals in migration between the unlikely geographies of the American Midwest and the Senegambia. In doing so\, she finds vast networks of scholarly\, artistic\, humanitarian\, familial\, and friendly exchange that bound these two regions together. \nYour support powers everything we do.

SUMMARY:Experts Next Door: American Women and Expatriate Life in Interwar Paris
DESCRIPTION:This event has been rescheduled to March 16 at 7pm. \nSince the founding of the United States\, France and its capital have held a singular place in the American imagination. The trans-atlantic conversation that flourished throughout the 19th century between America and its oldest ally was uniquely important to the development of American identity. After WWI\, this Franco-American relationship only deepened as thousands of Americans flocked to Paris. \nThis discussion will consider an important segment of expatriates to Paris post-WWI: American women. What drove so many American women out of their own country after 1918\, and what\, in particular\, did they hope to find in Paris? To what extent did American women who felt constrained and limited by life at home find freedom in expatriation? Through tracing the lives of women such as the Harlem Renaissance poet Gwendolyn Bennett\, and the founder of the Shakespeare and Company bookstore\, Sylvia Beach\, this presentation will explore the gendered experience of expatriation in this new\, modern era of mobility. \nThis talk forms part of a two-part Women’s History Month series\, Women in Migration: Epistemologies and Expatriation from the United States to the Francophone World. \n \nBio: Caitlin O’Keefe is a PhD Candidate in History and French Studies at New York University. She received her BA in History from Fordham and holds a MA in Women’s History from Sarah Lawrence College. Caitlin’s current project considers the feminist roots and revolutionary reading culture of the Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris. Caitlin’s writing on Shakespeare and Company has previously appeared in The New York Review of Books\, the Journal of Cultural Analytics\, and Modernism/ Modernity. \nYour support powers everything we do.
