SUMMARY:Meet the Artists - Reviving Place: Onondaga Lake Watershed Community Mapping
DESCRIPTION:The Onondaga Environmental Institute\, the Onondaga Historical Association and the Ska-nonh – Great Law of Peace Center are pleased to announce a special event with the artists behind the Reviving Place Exhibition on Friday\, September 30th at the Ska-nonh Center. Artists Sandra Fioramonti-Sabene\, Roland Powless\, Kamiiron Pritchard and Kate Woodle will be on hand for informal conversation from 6:00pm-8:00pm.  Gain their thoughts and perspectives on creating paintings that encompass community values and visions of the Onondaga Lake Watershed. This event is free and open to the public. \nThe Reviving Place: Onondaga Lake Watershed Community Mapping exhibit showcases four original works of art that were developed as part of a multi-year-long project which asked communities\, geographically located within the large Onondaga Lake watershed\, what they found unique\, special or important about their particular neighborhoods\, locales and environments.  The findings were then translated to an original visual graphic by talented local artists who sought to capture the community input and reflect what those communities viewed as important and which elements helped provide an identity that would be missed if it were gone?”  Their responses were then visually rendered by local artists in the community maps on exhibit. \nLearn more about the exhibit.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club - A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:The OHA Book Club will discuss A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the 19th Century by Witold Rybczynski. In a brilliant collaboration between writer and subject\, Witold Rybczynski\, the bestselling author of Home and City Life\, illuminates Frederick Law Olmsted’s role as a major cultural figure at the epicenter of nineteenth-century American history. \nWe know Olmsted through the physical legacy of his stunning landscapes—among them\, New York’s Central Park\, California’s Stanford University campus\, and Boston’s Back Bay Fens. But Olmsted’s contemporaries knew a man of even more extraordinarily diverse talents. Born in 1822\, he traveled to China on a merchant ship at the age of twenty-one. He cofounded The Nation magazine and was an early voice against slavery. He managed California’s largest gold mine and\, during the Civil War\, served as the executive secretary to the United States Sanitary Commission\, the precursor of the Red Cross. \nRybczynski’s passion for his subject and his understanding of Olmsted’s immense complexity and accomplishments make his book a triumphant work. In A Clearing in the Distance\, the story of a great nineteenth-century American becomes an intellectual adventure. \nAmazon.com Review\nFrederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) is best remembered today as a landscape designer\, well known for his plans for New York’s Central Park and Prospect Park\, the grounds of the U.S. Capitol in Washington\, D.C.\, and the campus of Stanford University\, among other noteworthy sites.But\, writes urban studies professor and accomplished author Witold Rybczynski\, Olmsted was an American original\, a 19th-century success story who packed many careers and wide learning and travel into a long life. He spent time in China and Europe\, managed a California gold mine\, edited The Nation\, commanded a medical unit in the Civil War\, and crisscrossed the United States many times over\, writing long reports and articles all the while. (One series of reports urged\, for instance\, that the then-remote Yosemite region of California be made a national park.) Olmsted\, Rybczynski suggests\, changed the face of America: he had a vision of the American landscape as a reflection of the national character\, with its broad vistas and open skies\, and he was concerned to make America’s urban spaces livable\, bringing “trees and greenery into the congested grid of streets.” At Olmsted’s urging\, many American and Canadian cities adopted his system of parks\, broad avenues\, and greenways\, which encouraged the appreciation and preservation of nature; his influence is felt today in the so-called urban ecology movement\, and in dozens of public spaces across the continent. \nRybczynski’s fine and illuminating biography of Olmsted shows him to have been a man of many parts\, an important historical figure whose legacy remains strong nearly a century after his death. –Gregory McNamee –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

SUMMARY:Keith Burich Book Signing: Thomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York
DESCRIPTION:Join us on August 24th at Skä•noñh-Great Law of Peace Center in Liverpool for a book signing with Keith Burich\, PhD.\, author of Thomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York in cooperation with Syracuse University Press. \nBurich is a professor of Native American history and the director of the American Indian Center at Canisius College in Buffalo. \nReviews via S.U. Press: “Burich’s exhaustive history significantly contributes to the history of settler colonial schooling by documenting a distinctively different kind of Indian School: non-federal\, state run\, horrifically committed to the idea of the ‘irredeemable’ Indian child.”—K. Tsianina Lomawaima\, professor of Indigenous education\, School of Social Transformation\, Arizona State University \n“Burich’s book fills a glaring gap in the fields of Indian education and Haudenosaunee history. It is accessible for undergraduate students and will add significantly to classroom explorations of Indian education by including state-mandated education in discussions that usually revolve around the Carlisle Industrial School and the federal system.”—Holly Rine\, associate professor of history\, Le Moyne College \n“Written by an historian who knows the craft of telling a good story\, Burich’s book offers a new interpretative angle to the growing literature on Indian boarding school studies\, and makes a wonderful contribution to the history of American Indian education.”—Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert\, associate professor of history\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign \nThomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York is available for sale at the Skä•noñh Center Gift Gallery. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Tuesday's on the Towpath at Onondaga Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join us on August 23rd as OHA hosts Tuesdays on the Towpath and explore Onondaga Lake’s history.\n\nThis is a free recreational guided bike ride for riders from 8-80 years old. The ride will not total more than 10 miles. Please RSVP below.\nWe will meet at the Griffin Visitor Center (106 Lake Drive\, Liverpool 13088) at 6:00 pm. All rides start and end in the same location and finish by dark. Helmets are required. Call Jon Zella (428-1864 extension 315) for more information.\n\nMore about Tuesday’s on the Towpath \nTuesday is the day to be out on the Erie Canalway Trail in the Albany and Syracuse areas\, with organized group rides in both areas providing fun introductions to social cycling. \nAcross the Canalway Trail System\, local cyclists and cycling groups use the trail for outings of varied length and intensity. Some cyclists are just out to enjoy the view\, while others are looking to burn calories or train for an event such as a century ride or self-supported bike tour. Whatever your style\, there’s plenty of room for whatever type of cycling you’d like to do on the Erie Canalway Trail – with nearly 300 miles of off-road route and a variety of trail surfaces. \nThe Tuesday events are guided rides\, generally on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. They use either the Old Erie Canal State Park section of the Erie Canalway Trail (ECT)\, on roads that follow the route of the Old Erie Canal through downtown Syracuse and the Inner Harbor\,  or on trails connected to the ECT including the Oneida Rail Trail. Most rides are between 8 and 10 miles\, with stops along the way to talk about Canal features or historic sites. The Tuesday rides attract recreational riders of all ages and abilities\, and on all types of bikes. When possible\, local museums keep special hours for rides. After the rides\, the group heads to local establishments to “test” the local food and craft beverages. \nAccording to CLCBM Executive Director Chris O’Neill\, the ride series has been a great success. She points to two main reasons: it serves the recreational rider\, an under-served market\, and provides a fun link between local cultural heritage\, outdoor recreation\, and area bike shops. Over the years\, Tuesdays on the Towpath has drawn support from Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor\, Parks & Trails New York\, Syracuse Bicycles Shop\, and Mello Velo Bike Shop. An ongoing partnership with the Erie Canal Museum provides historical credibility. Beginning in 2014\, rides became a partnership with Old Erie Canal Community Working Group (OECCWG)\, with communities and organizations alternating as hosts and guides for the weekly rides.

SUMMARY:Book Signing & Presentation: Symbols in the Wilderness - Early Masonic Survivals in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:Freemasonry played a vital role in the social development of New York State. Its Lodges provided a trusted place for newcomers to meet and for friendships and business partnerships to develop\, free from political\, professional\, and sectarian differences. During its explosive growth from 1790 to the end of the 1820s Masonic brethren produced iconic architecture\, as well as extraordinary examples of folk art\, expressed in large symbolic paintings (“tracing boards”)\, murals\, textiles\, and graphics. Most of these have remained entirely unknown outside the Upstate Lodges that\, against all hazards\, have preserved them. Their symbolism seems mysterious and confusing to outsiders\, but once explained\, it gives insight into a period and place unique in American history. The book was authored by Joscelyn Godwin \, Christian Goodwillie\, and Marianita Peaslee and produced by Richard W. Couper Press at Hamilton University.  \nAuthors Joscelyn and Christian will be available to sign books and will conduct a presentation at the Onondaga Historical Museum.  \nJoscelyn Godwin is professor of music at Colgate University. Christian Goodwillie is director and curator of Special Collections\, Burke Library\, Hamilton College. Marianita Peaslee is the digital imagery specialist\, Burke Library\, Hamilton College. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the OHA Gift Gallery the evening of the event. \n

On Saturday\, June 18\, starting at 10:00 am\, you can take a guided tour of the neighborhood and learn about the rich history that this area is built on. \nTours will begin at the First English Lutheran Church (501 James Street)\, and will depart at the top of each hour from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. The one-mile tour will lead visitors to eight different stops on Burnet Ave\, Hawley Ave\, Howard Street\, Gertrude Street\, and Green Street.

SUMMARY:Book Club: "The Life and Adventures of a Haunted Convict" by Austin Reed
DESCRIPTION:Join OHA’s book club on June 11th to discuss “The Life and Adventures of a Haunted Convict” by Austin Reed\, with forward by David W. Blight and Robert B. Stepto. This book is described as “The earliest known prison memoir by an African American writer—recently discovered and authenticated by a team of Yale scholars—sheds light on the longstanding connection between race and incarceration in America.” Austin Reed was a prisoner at Auburn State Prison in the mid-19th century. \nHow was this memoir discovered? \nAccording to NPR\, “At an estate sale in Rochester\, N.Y.\, in 2009\, a rare book seller came upon a curious literary artifact. As it turned out\, it was a memoir written in the 1850s by Austin Reed\, a black man who spent most of his life in prison…When Reed’s memoir found its way to Yale University\, librarians and scholars were eager to get a look at it. Robert Stepto\, a professor of African-American studies\, has spent a lifetime studying slave narratives.”

SUMMARY:Ward Wellington Ward in Rochester\, New York
DESCRIPTION:Ward Wellington Ward (1875-1932) was the quintessential Arts and Crafts architect. His designs reflect the popular architectural styles of the time\, but always with exquisite attention to detail and the use of the finest materials and craftsmen available. Ward practiced architecture in Syracuse\, NY for only 18 years (1908 to 1926). While two-thirds of the more than 280 houses which he designed during that period are found in the Syracuse area\, a surprising number (38-45) were for locations in Rochester\, NY and its suburbs of Brighton and Pittsford and Irondequoit. These homes still beautifully impact their locations today. Most of his designs are well documented\, thanks to art historian Cleota Reed\, but some designs have recently been “discovered” and several of his later Rochester commissions remain mysteries. The Rochester Ward Project is seeking to clear up these questions and see Ward’s Rochester treasures become part of the National Register of Historic Places. Presenter Arlene Wright Vanderlinde\, ASID\, CID\, is a graduate of Syracuse University and has practiced interior design for over four decades. She is principal in the firm of Wright Design Associates. Her specialty is residential\, commercial and institutional structures that are considered historic. Ms. Vanderlinde is now “partially” retired so she can pursue her passions of historical research and writing. \nThis event is presented by the Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York.

SUMMARY:Book Club: "The Invention of Wings: A Novel" by Sue Monk Kidd
DESCRIPTION:Join OHA’s book club on May 7th to discuss “The Invention of Wings: A Novel” by Sue Monk Kidd. According to NPR‘s Bobbi Dumas\, “the book is the fictionalized history of the Grimké sisters\, Sarah and Angelina (Nina)\, who were at the forefront of the abolitionist and women’s rights movements\, wound around the intriguing narrative of a young slave\, Hetty\, who was given to Sarah as an 11th birthday present. Sarah despises slavery\, even at that early age\, and out of principle attempts to reject the gift…The novel is a textured masterpiece\, quietly yet powerfully poking our consciences and our consciousness. What does it mean to be a sister\, a friend\, a woman\, an outcast\, a slave? How do we use our talents to better ourselves and our world? How do we give voice to our power\, or learn to empower our voice?”

Come down to Cathedral Square for brunch\, listen to the enchanting\, beautiful pieces played by our talented organists\, and stick around for a reception to learn more about the neighborhood.” In previous years\, the organ at Plymouth Congregational Church located at 232 East Onondaga Street\, has also been featured as a stop along the listening tour. However\, this year the church is under construction. The CSNA looks forward to the 2017 presentation of the Organ Crawl\, which will feature the newly renovated sanctuary.
