Join Curator of Education, Mary Alexander, as she shares a closer look at the world of Fritz Vogt through his drawings.

Fritz Vogt was an artist who traveled the back roads and turnpikes of central New York in the 1890s. He often offered his services as an artist to capture the homes, farms, businesses, and outbuildings of local landowners. These charming drawings give a glimpse into the life of 1890s property owners, their holdings, and the architecture of the region.

This talk uses pieces from the Arkell Museum permanent collection, a private collector, and the Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers' Museum to illustrate the world of Fritz Vogt.

Join Curator of Education, Mary Alexander, and she discusses the Canajoharie, NY 1929 sesquicentennial celebration of the Sullivan Clinton Campaign.

The Sullivan Clinton Campaign was a major Revolutionary War event in which thousands of troops were sent by General George Washington to central and western New York. The troops were sent with the express purpose of wiping out the villages, homes, and crops of the Haudenosaunee "Iroquois" Confederacy. This scorched earth campaign wrought havoc on the land and people; complicating an already difficult set of circumstances in the region.
We will examine how the original historical event was viewed 150 years later, in 1929, when the Village of Canajoharie, and much of central and western New York, set about on a series of commemorations of the military event. To better understand this we will look at materials from the Arkell Museum and Canajoharie Library's permanent collection including artwork, newspaper articles, and photography.
We will look at the legacy of the 150th celebration and the impact of this celebration - that is still visible throughout the built landscape of our region.
