At the turn of the 20th century, Schenectady was a booming industrial power: the city that “Lights and Hauls the World.” This lecture explores this period, the figures and factories that made it so dynamic. We’ll look beyond the nostalgia and seek differing perspectives on Schenectady’s halcyon days in partnership with our friends of the Schenectady County Historical Society.
