SUMMARY:Heading Out\, by Terence Young
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nWhat is it that has drawn generations of Americans to pack up their families\, leave behind the comforts of home\, and head for the woods each year? In the final episode of In the Adirondack Library for 2025-26 season\, author Terence Young explores just that. In conversation with NCPR’s Mitch Teich\, Young will discuss his book Heading Out: A History of American Camping. Young’s book reflects on how places like the Adirondacks helped shape camping as a cherished seasonal ritual. From the rush of Murray’s fools in the late 19th Century\, to the trails carved out by determined backpackers\, to the modern campsites dotted across the Park\, Young explores the enduring appeal of “roughing it” and what it reveals about Americans’ longing for simplicity\, freedom\, and a temporary step away from everyday life. \nAbout The Speaker:\nTerence Young is a historical geographer with a long-standing interest in how Americans have experienced nature\, earned through years of study and time spent thinking deeply about landscapes\, travel\, and recreation. He earned his Ph.D. in geography at UCLA and later taught at California State Polytechnic University\, Pomona\, where his work explored parks\, tourism\, and the meanings people attach to outdoor places. His books include Building San Francisco’s Parks\, 1850–1930 and Heading Out: A History of American Camping\, which traces the roots of camping from early parklands and mountain regions to a national tradition shaped by movement\, modern life\, and the search for renewal. Whether writing about city parks or canvas tents\, Young brings a storyteller’s eye to the long relationship between people and the outdoors. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Adirondack Pack Basket Making with Barbara Green
DESCRIPTION:Join Barbara Green of Adirondack Green House Basketry for an Adirondack Pack Basket making workshop.\nParticipants will weave a full-sized Pack Basket\, approximately 18” tall. They will make their packs in the same manner as original packs were made using reed rather than black or brown ash. The top of the basket is finished with a riveted handle before applying the rim. \nSolid wood skids and an interior wooden base hold the harness in place. There will be a selection of harness colors to choose from. \nThe basket and wooden components are to be stained at home. When dried\, the harness\, skids and base are applied. Barbara will show how to do this at the workshop. Stain instructions are included in the handout. \n\nAll materials (except stain) and tools will be provided.\nParticipants are welcome to bring food\, drinks\, and snacks for the day. Museum admission is included in the workshop fee. (Please note that basket completion takes about 8 hours.)\nComfortable shoes are recommended.\n\nSpots are limited\, and this workshop often sells out. Early registration is recommended. \n  \nBarbara Green: I discovered basket weaving as a hobby in 2007. While never very crafty\, this called to me. I found something that brings me peace\, yet challenges me regularly. Weaving allows me to be creative while creating something that is functional. Having spent most of my life in the Adirondacks\, I find it important to know the history of the iconic Adirondack Pack Basket\, and I find great joy in teaching others how to make their own. My baskets are made with reed rather than black or brown ash like the original pack baskets. Reed is highly renewable and durable. I learned on very basic tools and teach the same way. All necessary tools and materials are always included in my workshops. My harnesses are made by me\, and the bases and skids are made from scrap lumber by my husband.

SUMMARY:Triangle Lantern Making with Carol Marie Vossler
DESCRIPTION:Carol Marie Vossler\, an artist and papermaker\, will lead you through making a triangle lantern out of handmade paper and stencils.\nYou’ll be cutting and folding as part of the process. Using stencils\, you can cut shapes with either an Xacto knife or a pin tool\, each offering unique effects\, before assembling your lantern. The session also offers a brief look at the historical and contemporary importance of lanterns. \nAll materials (except light) and tools will be provided. \n\nParticipants are welcome to bring drinks and snacks for the day. Museum admission is not included but can be added to the workshop fee at a reduced rate.\nComfortable shoes are recommended.\n\nWorkshop is for participants 12 years old and older.

Her work incorporates imagery and objects to bring attention to environmental concerns and inspire proactive responses. Her experience as a forester taught her to observe both the large-scale and subtle details of forests and to act in ways that support their well-being. This ongoing relationship between the living forest and her artistic creativity has shaped her practice for many years. Carol’s art offers a unique perspective\, encouraging curiosity and thoughtful questions.
