Bryce Waldrop,
Preservation Architect
and resident of North Chatham,
gave a slide presentation .  Jointly  sponsored by the No. Chatham Historical Society and the Library, he discussed the
history of architecture in this area from 1600 to 1861.
Bryce kindly left us a booklet summarizing his talk.  Come, take a look.


The Library is developing a LOCAL HISTORY section.  We are eagerly looking for books on this topic.  Does anyone have a copy of Kinderhook Lake that they could donate to this collection?
