The Stamford Historical Society is pleased to announce that it will present a program on Sunday, March 17 at 2 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church at 96 Main Street in Stamford. Gerry Stoner will speak on The Anti-Rent War on Blenheim Hill: An Episode of the 1840s, a history written by Albert Champlin Mayham, professor of history in the Cortland Summer School. Originally published in Jefferson by Frederick Frazee in 1906, a centennial edition was published by Stonecrest Industries as part of its series in local history.
Mr. Stoner will provide information that assists the modern reader to better understand the events and people in Mayham’s book—maps to align the current landscape with the historical events, current descriptions of locations and buildings, and notes on who’s who in the book.
The historical society appreciates the use of the church building until meetings can resume at the Stamford Train Station venue in May. This program is free and open to all. To connect with the Stamford Historical Society, send an email to stamfordhistorical@gmail.com.
