In 2017, a national auction gallery offered a formerly unknown painting depicting the Great Fire of Utica in 1837. The rediscovery of this painting sparked Patrick Reynolds, our Director of Public Programs, on a historical investigation, revealing a fascinating and scandalous tale of a family of printers involved in illegal activities spanning international borders. The public is invited to a special program detailing these extraordinary findings.
