Sharon Leahy to Speak at Quarterly Meeting

Believed to be the first “horseless carriage” to pass through Newark

Join us on Thursday, June 13, at 7:00 p.m. as Sharon Leahy presents Early Automobilism in Newark at the Newark-Arcadia Museum.

At the turn of the century, Newark, N.Y. factored in the burgeoning transportation transformation.  Attendees will learn how early “horseless carriage” races, automobile clubs, and area automakers included Newark in the automobile craze.

A PowerPoint presentation will accompany Sharon’s lecture. This program will tie in perfectly with the new acquisition of the Browniekar!

 

Sharon is a member of N-AHS.  She has a BCA in Landscape Architecture from Louisiana State University and a M.A. in Historic Preservation from Savannah College of Art & Design.
