  • February 26: John Brown in New York

    Thursday, February 26

    Author Sandra Weber presents a compelling talk about her newest book, John Brown in New York: The Man, His Family, and the Adirondack Landscape, and offers a fresh and intimate look at the famed abolitionist, focusing on the years of the Brown family's connection with North Elba, Essex County (1848-1863). The intertwining story of sublime Adirondack scenery, farm life, and racial justice explores John Brown not only as a national figure but as a husband, father, neighbor, abolitionist, and equalitarian.
    Clinton County Historical Association 98 Ohio Avenue, Plattsburgh, NY
