SUMMARY:Seneca Ray Stoddard and Jesse Sumner Wooley: Kindred Spirits
DESCRIPTION:The Saratoga County History Center (SCHC) at Brookside Museum announces a presentation by Dr. Daniel Way\, entitled “Seneca Ray Stoddard and Jesse Sumner Wooley: Kindred Spirits”. The event will take place at 7pm on Monday\, September 8th at Brookside Museum in Ballston Spa. The photographers Seneca Ray Stoddard and Jesse Sumner Wooley were both born in Wilton in Saratoga County. Stoddard\, through his catalogue of photographs\, is often cited as a major influence in the formation of the Adirondack Park. He traveled extensively\, photographing as he went. Wooley too\, almost 20 years younger\, not only was well known locally as a portrait photographer\, but also traveled widely through New York\, across the United States and Europe\, leaving behind an impressive collection of images from his travels. Both men were eager to embrace new photographic innovations of their time. Dr. Way\, retired primary care physician from Glens Falls\, and Stoddard’s great great nephew\, will show many examples of the photography of both men\, and examine what little is known about the connections between them. Copies of Dr. Way’s books will also be available to purchase. Brookside Museum is fortunate enough to hold a large collection of Wooley photographs and lantern slides. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Twelve Years a Widow: Finding the Footsteps of Anne Hampton Northup
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who has done historical research knows the difficulties in tracking down the stories of women\, particularly working-class women\, and especially women of color.

But who was Anne\, and how did she manage as a single woman\, bringing up three children\, for twelve years until her husband’s return? \nJoin Yale historian and Middlebury College teacher\, Connor Williams\, as he sheds some light on the story of Anne\, not only about her life\, but also about the challenges of uncovering that story. \nRegister HERE
