This talk introduces The Champlain Canal: 200 Years of Change and explores early tourism on the canal and Lake Champlain, focusing on 1890s travel accounts by Florence Snedeker and Augusta Brown.Our series aims to bring local topic experts to the library to share their knowledge with the general community--everyone is welcome! A Q&A/discussion will follow each presentation.
Matt Harrison is the Sailing Programs Manager at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and has worked at the museum doing education, research, on-water programs since 2016. He also travelled the Champlain Canal aboard the replica museum vessel Lois McClure and was delighted to be able to celebrate its bicentennial through the production of the new anthology.
Lifelong Learning for All will be held the first Wednesday of each month (except holidays) at 5:30 PM in the library auditorium.
