SUMMARY:River of Mountains
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nLourie completed his trip. It took him three weeks and marked the first time anyone has traveled from the source of the Hudson to the mouth in a single vessel. The Hudson proved to be a very changeable river. It includes seven locks and nine power dams. The northern half is a true river with strong current\, but the lower half is tidal\, a sunken river from the days of glaciers. In its first 165 miles\, it drops more than 4\,000 feet to Albany. The second half falls no more than a foot. \nLourie’s account of his trip is a fresh look at one of America’s great and complex waterways\, one of the few\, in fact\, that still contains its his­torical and biological species of fish. It is also the longest inland estuary in the world. Henry Hudson called it the “great river of the moun­tains.” Nowadays\, too often the Hudson is stereotyped as a ruined\, polluted industrial river. Its glorious past is compared to its present neglect. \nIn River of Mountains\, Peter Lourie combines the Hudson’s rich history and descriptions of some of the region’s most impressive landscape with the residents of its mill towns\, the loggers\, commercial fishermen\, and barge pilots-all of whom are proof that the river is still a thriving\, vital waterway. So\, come with Peter Lourie on his trip\, come explore with him from a canoe one of this coun­try’s great rivers\, join him in his wonderful adventure. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Adirondack Campfire Stories
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nThe Adirondack Park is filled with a lore unlike anywhere else in the world. Maybe it’s the beauty that surrounds the Park thanks to the thousands of mountains\, lakes\, and rivers within. Maybe it’s the history of woodsmen struggling to survive in a place that’s been aptly nicknamed\, “dismal wilderness.” Hard to say\, really. But everyone who visits this rugged\, beautiful mountain country will agree; there is a mystery about the Adirondacks.   \nIn this collection of spooky and supernatural stories set in the Adirondacks – and perfect to tell around a roaring campfire – author James Appleton taps into the lore of the Park from its well-trodden towns and trails to hidden places off the beaten path. Adapted from Appleton’s popular podcast\, Adirondack Campfire Stories features spooky stories\, both fiction and non-fiction\, that take place in the mountains\, on the trails\, and at the lakes of real places here in the Park. Tapping into the folklore of this majestic region\, Adirondack Campfire Stories will give readers haunting experiences under the stars for years to come.  \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:John Collins Memorial Lecture: Wintering: The Nature of Resilience in Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The paintings in this body of work\, “Wintering\,” examine the metaphorical connection between nature\, my personal wintering\, and my experiences of the sublime. Through the materiality and language of paint\, light\, and subject matter\, grief is reconciled; hope and resilience prevail. Historical comparisons and research of artists who have painted Northern winter landscapes deepen my connection with my genre and role as an Adirondack landscape painter. The intention of this body of work is for the audience to find a personal connection to their own wintering through the lens of nature and with that connection\, find hope and resiliency of their own. \nThis program is free. \nAbout The Speaker: \nIngrid Van Slyke (b. 1967\, Washington D.C) received her M.F.A in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2023. She has exhibited her work in international and national group exhibitions throughout the country including New York\, Connecticut\, Maine\, Massachusetts\, and Illinois as well as solo shows. Her work has been juried into the highly prestigious Pastel Society of America “Enduring Brilliance” exhibitions held at the National Arts Club and the Salmagundi Club in New York City. She has been a guest speaker for the National Association of Women Artists “Arts in Conversation” series. Ingrid teaches soft pastel painting to individuals and groups and has been a guest teacher at the New York State Art Teacher’s Summer Institute at The Great Camp Sagamore in Upstate NY. Her work is currently represented at Gallery 46 in Lake Placid\, NY. Ingrid lives with her family in Lake Placid\, NY\, and finds inspiration for her landscape paintings from the beautiful natural environment of the Adirondacks. \n** Before the program\, at 5:00 PM\, join us for our annual reception in memory of John “Johnny” Collins Jr.\, former Trustee and Executive Director of the museum.** \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Outsider: Stories of Growing Up Black in the Adirondacks by Alice Paden Green
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \n“Outsider: Stories of Growing Up Black in the Adirondacks” details Alice Paden Green’s experiences as her family grappled with poverty\, race and acceptance in the mid-20th century. This memoir\, prompted by a recent gathering of Blacks and whites in the Adirondacks for a discussion on race relations\, explores perceptions of Black families in the ’50s and ’60s and whether Blacks are still viewed as outsiders or welcomed with open arms in this four-season\, recreational playground dominated by white residents. \nThis book adds to the narrative on whether more work should be done to diversify the Adirondack region. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Aviation in the Adirondacks By Aurora Pfaff
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nSince 1912\, when a young man named George Gray landed an open-cockpit biplane on a farmer’s field\, aviation has played an important role in communities located throughout the 6 million-acre Adirondack Park. Through a range of historic images and postcards\, Aurora Pfaff tells the story of pilots who linked communities by air\, transported goods and people\, and the small towns and airfields that they called home. From the novelty of planes landing on skis and daredevil flying circuses to forest fire patrols\, exploration of the vast backcountry\, and toy deliveries by Santa\, airplanes have opened the Adirondack wilderness and made remote communities more easily accessible for tourists and adventurers. Yet this golden age for aviation would not last\, for as car travel became easier and more affordable in the mid- to late-20th century\, air travel in the Adirondacks would fade in importance and necessity. \nImages used in Aviation in the Adirondacks come from the Adirondack Experience: The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake\, Historic Saranac Lake\, Keene Valley Library\, Piseco Lake Historical Society\, Saranac Lake Free Library Adirondack Research Room\, Town of Webb Historical Association\, individuals\, and other organizations. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n
