This is part of the 2019 Fall Lecture Series with a focus on agricultural-related topics. The current exhibit, “Hometown Grown” features an exhibit of Wayne County Preserving Co. and Edgett-Burnham Co. artifacts and photos.

John is an active member and past president of the N-AHS, as well as a local historian.

The program is free and open to all.  John’s lectures are always popular, so if you would like to reserve a seat, use this contact form.

 

The Fall Lecture Series continues this Thursday evening Oct. 10th at 7 p.m. as Carl Bailey presents “Fairs Through the Years”. It covers from the early 1800’s through the 20th century.

Fairs date from the Middle Ages in Europe. An early land agent was the first to suggest a fair in this area.  The Wayne County Fair has a long history which will be discussed.

The lecture relates to our current exhibit on agriculture. A very interesting part of the exhibit is on the Newark Fair.

We hope you will join us!  Info: 315-331-6409.
