On Thursday, August 18, 7 p.m. the 2022 Summer Lecture Series will continue with “A Crossing Situation”, presented by David Brooks, Education Director at Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site at Lasell Hall.

The presentation explains how the Schoharie Creek was actually an impediment to the Erie Canal before the artificial river was opened and how Erie Canal engineers and builders determined how to cross the waters of the Schoharie, from the earliest dams to the incredible John B Jervis-designed Schoharie Creek Aqueduct, and what that meant for the success of the Erie Canal.
Admission to all of the 2022 Summer Lecture Series events is $5. Admission for Schoharie County Historical Society members is free.
