Join us as we learn from the Underground Railroad Education center about freedom seekers, abolitionists, and how we remember history in this FREE Zoom presentation.

The Underground Railroad, often remembered as being characterized by tunnels, dark of night escapes, coded language and hidey-holes, was far more extensive and complex than these ideas have led us to believe. In the midst of significant pro-slavery sentiment, New York State was home to many abolitionists working to abolish the institution of slavery in our state and nation and it was visited by many who had escaped enslavement and sought a life of freedom. Join with the Stewarts as they share a new interpretation of a very old story and explain the various initiatives in which Underground Railroad Education Center is engaged as it works to connect the public with this local history and its relevance for us today.

This Free Zoom program brings together Mary Alexander, Curator of Education & Public Engagement at the Arkell Museum, and Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy’s Conservation Director Sarah Walsh to talk about the special area of the Mohawk River Valley fondly called "The Noses."

Mary will look at art from the Arkell Museum collection featuring the Noses. Sarah will discuss efforts of the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy to improve aspects of the environment around the noses, assess wildlife crossings in the area, and the importance of protecting these iconic landscapes for future generations.

This fun mix of nature and art is sure to be a lovely break from the winter doldrums. Won't you join us?
