SUMMARY:OHA Book Club and Author Signing: Haunted Onondaga County\, by Neil K. MacMillan
DESCRIPTION:Join the OHA Book Club on October 27th for Haunted Onondaga County along with a book signing with the author\, Neil K. MacMillan. \nAbout the book: From the halls of Syracuse University to the quiet neighborhoods of Fayetteville and Marcellus\, the communities of Onondaga County have a haunted history. Some sites are hotbeds of paranormal activity\, like Syracuse’s Woodlawn Cemetery\, the Jamesville Penitentiary and Split Rock Quarry\, where a blast killed several workers. Visitors at the Clay Hotel debate whose ghost walks the halls of the former German beer house and restaurant. Patrons of the Ancestor’s Inn in Liverpool have also encountered unregistered and unwelcome guests. After Albert Fyler murdered his wife in a jealous rage\, their spirits refused to leave the home they shared. Even the iconic Syracuse City Hall cannot rid itself of the otherworldly. Local author Neil K. MacMillan delves into this eerie past to uncover Onondaga County’s most haunted locations. \nAbout the author: Neil K. MacMillan holds a BA in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in history and creative writing from SUNY Empire State College. He has been an American Civil War re-enactor for eighteen years. He is a veteran of the navy with combat service in the Gulf War. He lives in Syracuse with his wife Peggy and belongs to the Onondaga Historical Association.

SUMMARY:Rock of the Marne Monument Rededication Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:On July 15th\, join OHA and the Syracuse community as we rededicate the Rock of the Marne Monument in Billings Park 98 years after it was erected (1920) and 100 years after the Second Battle of the Marne (1918). The monument is on the corner of South Salina and East Adams streets. \nThe ceremony will celebrate the replacement of a once lost plaque\, the unveiling of a new plaque which commemorates the 100th anniversary\, and a program featuring Sean Kirst\, General Quintas 3rd Infantry Division\, and Deputy Mayor Sharon Owens. \nThis free event will also include musical entertainment and refreshments for sale by Gannon’s Ice Cream and Donny’s Dogs. \nAbout the monument: On July 15\, 1920\, the “Rock of the Marne” monument\, created by Roland Hilton Perry was dedicated by men of the 38th Infantry Regiment\, 3rd Infantry Division\, in Billings Park at South Salina\, South Warren and East Adams streets. The unit earned the nickname “Rock of the Marne” because of its resolve to hold its ground at the Second Battle of the Marne River near Paris\, France on July 15\, 1918 in the face of the last massive German offensive of World War I. \nThe 38th Infantry Regiment chose to donate the monument to the city because men of that unit were trained at the State Fairgrounds\, near Syracuse.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: Heaven's Ditch - God\, Gold\, and Murder on the Erie Canal
DESCRIPTION:Join the OHA Book Club on June 23rd to discuss Heaven’s Ditch: God\, Gold\, and Murder on the Erie Canal\, by Jack Kelly. \nAbout the book: The technological marvel of its age\, the Erie Canal grew out of a sudden fit of inspiration. Proponents didn’t just dream; they built a 360-mile waterway entirely by hand and largely through wilderness. As excitement crackled down its length\, the canal became the scene of the most striking outburst of imagination in American history. Zealots invented new religions and new modes of living. The Erie Canal made New York the financial capital of America and brought the modern world crashing into the frontier. Men and women saw God face to face\, gained and lost fortunes\, and reveled in a period of intense spiritual creativity. \nHeaven’s Ditch by Jack Kelly illuminates the spiritual and political upheavals along this “psychic highway” from its opening in 1825 through 1844. “Wage slave” Sam Patch became America’s first celebrity daredevil. William Miller envisioned the apocalypse. Farm boy Joseph Smith gave birth to Mormonism\, a new and distinctly American religion. Along the way\, the reader encounters America’s very first “crime of the century\,” a treasure hunt\, searing acts of violence\, a visionary cross-dresser\, and a panoply of fanatics\, mystics\, and hoaxers.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: Upstate Cauldron with Author and Professor Joscelyn Godwin
DESCRIPTION:Join the OHA Book Club as it welcomes Colgate University Professor\, Joscelyn Godwin\, to discuss his book\, Upstate Cauldron – Eccentric Spiritual Movements in Early New York State\, ahead of our June Ghostwalk. \nAbout the book: “What a fascinating book! Upstate Cauldron takes a refreshing and new look at the period of time when Upstate New York was the center of the Spiritualist movement in America. Joscelyn Godwin has written a book that is very difficult to put down\, introducing us to the most wonderful and exotic individuals. People like Timothy Brown\, who built one of the most intricate (and most photographed) homes in Central New York with his own hands and out of his own head. Can you say ‘spiritual guidance’? And we meet Kate and Maggie Fox\, who may have been America’s earliest rap stars. The fabulous Fox sisters used secret rapping sounds to convince converts that they were communicating with the ‘other world.’ Anthony Damiani was a spiritual godfather to many young people in the university city of Ithaca. He doled out his visions of wisdom on Ithaca’s main street\, and when done\, raced fifty miles to his job as a New York State Thruway toll taker. These are just some of the sometimes incredible\, sometimes bizarre\, but always interesting people at the core of Upstate’s Spiritualism history. Godwin tells the story of a little-known historical chapter of the area with insight and great liveliness. As the author myself of a half dozen books about Upstate New York\, I found this book irresistible and absorbing.” — Chuck D’Imperio\, author of Unknown Museums of Upstate New York: A Guide to 50 Treasures \nBronze Medalist 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the US Northeast – Best Regional Non-Fiction Category \nHONORABLE MENTION 2015 ForeWord INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award in the Religion Category \n

SUMMARY:Stories from the Split Rock Explosion
DESCRIPTION:A nearly century-old tragedy is motivating OCC students to make a difference in their community. “We want to preserve and memorialize what happened\,” said Tara Carr (West Genesee HS\, 2017). “We want to make sure Split Rock will never be forgotten.” \nCarr is one of eleven students enrolled in “The Split Rock Disaster\,” an Honors level class examining the tragedy that occurred July 2\, 1918. What was once a former limestone quarry had been turned into a munitions factory where TNT was being manufactured for use in World War I. When a fire started at the site workers fought the blaze until they ran out of water pressure. The raging fire resulted in an explosion which was felt for miles around. Fifty-five workers were killed and 50 were injured. \nEarly in the semester students traveled to the site which is located off Split Rock Road in the Town of Onondaga. “To see what it looks like now gave us a sad feeling\,” said student Flo Downing (Cathage HS\, 2015). All that remains is a stone crusher which was built in 1903. “It was covered in graffiti\,” added student Beckii Sessions (Town of Webb HS\, 2016). “There was trash everywhere. The whole place was wrecked. There was a lot of broken glass and shotgun shells.” \n\n \n\n\nSeeing what the site had become motivated students to take action in connection with the upcoming 100-year anniversary of the tragedy. Under the leadership of Professors Laurel Saiz and Melissa Hicks\, students made a presentation to the Onondaga Town Board and are working on a series of related activities: \n\nMonday\, April 30\, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\, in Mawhinney 345 at OCC\, “Split Rock at the Center of the World\,” a presentation by Professor Laurel Saiz\nWednesday\, May 2\, two performance of “Split Rock: Stories from the 1918 Explosion\,” a play researched\, written\, and performed by OCC students and directed and edited by OHA’s Scott Peal.  Daytime performance is 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and the evening performance is at 7 p.m. in Storer Auditorium at OC.  Tickets are $5 and on sale at OHA’s Gift Gallery in downtown Syracuse.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: Death or Liberty: African Americans and Revolutionary America with Author Douglas Egerton
DESCRIPTION:Join the OHA Book Club as it welcomes author and LeMoyne Professor\, Douglas Egerton\, to discuss his book\, Death or Liberty: African Americans and Revolutionary America. \nAbout the book: “In Death or Liberty\, Douglas R. Egerton offers a sweeping chronicle of African American history stretching from Britain’s 1763 victory in the Seven Years’ War to the election of slaveholder Thomas Jefferson as president in 1800. While American slavery is usually identified with the cotton plantations\, Egerton shows that on the eve of the Revolution it encompassed everything from wading in the South Carolina rice fields to carting goods around Manhattan to serving the households of Boston’s elite. More important\, he recaptures the drama of slaves\, freed blacks\, and white reformers fighting to make the young nation fulfill its republican slogans. Although this struggle often unfolded in the corridors of power\, Egerton pays special attention to what black Americans did for themselves in these decades\, and his narrative brims with compelling portraits of forgotten figures such as Quok Walker\, a Massachusetts runaway who took his master to court and thereby helped end slavery in that state; Absalom Jones\, a Delaware house slave who bought his freedom and later formed the Free African Society; and Gabriel\, a young Virginia artisan who was hanged for plotting to seize Richmond and hold James Monroe hostage. Egerton argues that the Founders lacked the courage to move decisively against slavery despite the real possibility of peaceful\, if gradual\, emancipation. Battling ouge odds\, African American activists and rebels succeeded in finding liberty–if never equality–only in northern states. Canvassing every colony and state\, as well as incorporating the wider Atlantic world\, Death or Liberty offers a lively and comprehensive account of black Americans and the Revolutionary era in America”

SUMMARY:A Sustainable World of Equality and Peace
DESCRIPTION:A Sustainable World of Equality and Peace\, a joint presentation by Freida Jacques & Sally Roesch Wagner. The speakers will explore the impact Haudenosaunee women had on the 19th century women’s rights movement. You can make a donation to this event\, which will help support future events\, exhibits\, and programs at the Center\, by clicking here. \nThis program\, which is free and open to the public\, is made possible through the support of the Humanities New York’s Public Scholars program is hosted by the Skä·noñh-Great Law of Peace Center to be held on Tuesday\, March 27th from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. \nFreida Jacques describes the world she inhabits as a Haudenosaunee woman\, a member of the six nations of the Iroquois confederacy.  The democratic governmental system\, established long before Columbus and based on peace\, provides equality for everyone with a balance of responsibilities between women and men based on a matrilineal clan system. Gratitude\, healing and use of the Good Mind constitute lessons from the Haudenosaunee Culture that provided a model for the Euro-American culture to use in creating a truly democratic\, peaceful country.  Freida also explores the original instructions that the Haudenosaunee received to develop a relationship with nature in a sustainable manner\, a model that inspired 19thcentury U.S. reformers. \nSally Roesch Wagner will explore how the woman’s rights movement took form in the territory of the Haudenosaunee where women have always lived with far greater status and authority than in the non-native world.   Based on her most recent book\, Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists\, Dr. Wagner will share her research on how Haudenosaunee women fired the revolutionary vision of early feminists by providing a model of freedom for women at a time when Euro-American women experienced few rights. \nwho lost all their rights\, even their legal existence\, when they married. Euro-American women learned from and were inspired by the equal political authority\, control of their bodies and property\, religious voice\, custody of their children\, satisfying work\, and absence of rape and domestic violence women experienced in Haudenosaunee nations.Together the women explore the impact that Haudenosaunee women\, living in absolute equality\, had on Euro-American women\, \nIf you have questions about events at the Center\, please call 315-453-6767 or 315-428-1864. \nPartial funding for this event comes from the New York State Council on the Arts.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club - Upstate Cauldron: Eccentric Spiritual Movements in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 24th\, the OHA Book Club will discuss Upstate Cauldron: Eccentric Spiritual Movements in Upstate New York. \nAbout the book (via SUNY Press) \nBronze Medalist 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the US Northeast – Best Regional Non-Fiction Category \nHONORABLE MENTION 2015 ForeWord INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award in the Religion Category \nFrom 1776 to 1914\, an amazing collection of prophets\, mediums\, sects\, cults\, utopian communities\, and spiritual leaders arose in Upstate New York. Along with the best known of these\, such as the Shakers\, Mormons\, and Spiritualists\, this book explores more than forty other spiritual leaders or groups\, some of them virtually unknown\, but all of them fascinating. The author uncovers common threads that characterize these homegrown spiritualities\, including roots in Western esoteric traditions\, liberation from the psychological pressures of dogmatic Christianity\, a preoccupation with sex\, and involvement in the radical reform movements of the day. In addition to maps and photographs of surviving buildings and monuments\, the book also features a gazetteer of sites listing 150 locations connected to these groups\, which may be used as a helpful travel guide to the region. \n“Godwin’s conversational style and his attention to narrative detail make Upstate Cauldron a book that would be appreciated by academic and non-academic audiences alike. As a survey text\, this book is invaluable\, pointing to areas that are currently under-researched in the field\, offering suggestions for further study. But any reader interested in the history of upstate New York would come away with an enriched appreciation for the region’s history and culture.” — Nova Religio

SUMMARY:OHA Announces Follow-up to World War I  Reading and Discussion Program
DESCRIPTION:The Onondaga Historical Association (OHA) is pleased to offer a second installment of “Our World Remade: World War I\,” a reading and discussion series developed and sponsored by Humanities New York. “With its thematic focus\, this reading and discussion program offers an unusual twist on the standard book group format by making time for thinking deeply about one idea\, over time\, from a variety of perspectives\,” says Sara Ogger\, executive director of Humanities New York. Something special happens when we talk about what we read with others in our community. Humanities New York’s Adult Reading & Discussion programs are designed to foster active reading and thinking\, incorporating texts that serve as catalysts for civic engagement\, cultural understanding\, and personal reflection. Adult Reading & Discussion programs are held in communities across New York State.\n\nAt the Onondaga Historical Museum\, located at 321 Montgomery Street in downtown Syracuse\, participants will come together over the course of four (4) sessions to discuss a variety of thematically linked texts with Robert J. Searing\, Curator of history for OHA Participants in “Our World Remade” will explore the complexities of  World War I\, and how  in the years that followed\, survivors\, authors\, and historians struggled to come to terms with the carnage\, the terrors of the battlefield\, and the sociological and political upheaval caused by the conflict. World War I marked a turning point in warfare and weaponry\, from the months-long battles like Verdun and the destruction wrought by new technologies\, to the dehumanizing effects of the war on civilians and especially the soldiers at the front. \n*** \nThe centennial of the United States entering World War I in 1917 has created a renewed interest in the “war to end all wars.” 2018 marks the centennial of the armistice on 11/11/1918.  At our museum in downtown Syracuse\, OHA has dedicated its  Murray-Sales gallery to a large exhibit highlighting the contributions of the people of Onondaga County to the war effort.  We are proud to announce that we have been awarded a grant from Humanities of New York to hold a reading and discussion group in the museum.  The dates for these 4 sessions are 2/27\, 3/20\, 4/24\, and 5/22 at 6:15 pm.  The sessions will run between 1 and 2 hours. \nLed by OHA Curator of history Robert J. Searing\, these four informal\, monthly sessions will focus on selected readings including primary sources and larger monographs that deal with various aspects of the war\, from the battlefield to the home-front and how the Great War fundamentally altered the course of warfare\, geo-politics\, and the lives of ordinary people across the world.  All of our discussion meetings will take place inside the OHA’s World War I exhibit\, which includes a wide variety of 3-D objects including uniforms and helmets and other artifacts from our collections\, in addition to an incredible array of photographs and wartime images from Syracuse. \nThe program is free and open to the public\, although pre-registration is required. For more information about the series dates and acquiring books\, please contact Robert J. Searing at (315)428-1864 ext. 319 or robert.searing@cnyhistory.org \nFor more information about “Our World Remade\,” visit www.humanitiesny.org. \n*** \nOnondaga Historical Association exists to inspire people’s understanding that the history we share as a community is the foundation for our future together.  Our purpose is to educate and encourage the exploration\, appreciation\, and utilization of the past in order to add value throughout our community and bring the great stories of Onondaga County’s history to a worldwide audience.  To do so\, we offer engaging exhibits\, publications\, products\, and programs; we pursue partnerships with other organizations; and we develop and care for definitive collections related to local history.  We are an association of heritage-related museums\, research and educational centers\, historic sites\, and retail stores in Onondaga County\, New York. \nHumanities New York is a private\, non-profit state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities\, receiving federal\, state\, city\, and private funding. It provides leadership and support across the state’s intellectual and cultural sectors through grants\, programs\, networking\, and advocacy\, in order to encourage critical thinking and cultural understanding in the public arena. \nwww.humanitiesny.org \nAny views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of either Humanities New York or the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: "The Traitor's Wife" by Allison Pataki
DESCRIPTION:On February 24th\, the OHA Book Club will discuss “The Traitor’s Wife” by Allison Pataki. \nAbout the book (via Goodreads) \nA riveting historical novel about Peggy Shippen Arnold\, the cunning wife of Benedict Arnold and mastermind behind America’s most infamous act of treason . . .\nEveryone knows Benedict Arnold–the Revolutionary War general who betrayed America and fled to the British–as history’s most notorious turncoat. Many know Arnold’s co-conspirator\, Major John Andre\, who was apprehended with Arnold’s documents in his boots and hanged at the orders of General George Washington. But few know of the integral third character in the plot: a charming young woman who not only contributed to the betrayal but orchestrated it. \nSocialite Peggy Shippen is half Benedict Arnold’s age when she seduces the war hero during his stint as military commander of Philadelphia. Blinded by his young bride’s beauty and wit\, Arnold does not realize that she harbors a secret: loyalty to the British. Nor does he know that she hides a past romance with the handsome British spy John Andre. Peggy watches as her husband\, crippled from battle wounds and in debt from years of service to the colonies\, grows ever more disillusioned with his hero\, Washington\, and the American cause. Together with her former love and her disaffected husband\, Peggy hatches the plot to deliver West Point to the British and\, in exchange\, win fame and fortune for herself and Arnold. \nTold from the perspective of Peggy’s maid\, whose faith in the new nation inspires her to intervene in her mistress’s affairs even when it could cost her everything\, The Traitor’s Wife brings these infamous figures to life\, illuminating the sordid details and the love triangle that nearly destroyed the American fight for freedom.
