FHHL Speakers – 2011

The Friends of Historic Huletts Landing (FHHL) will be bringing in three guest speakers during the summer of 2011 to speak on interesting, historic, topics of interest.

Previously, I announced the first talk here.

With things being quiet lately, I thought this would be a good opportunity to announce the second talk.

“The Adirondack Railroad: People and places along the Rails”.

By Persis Granger

While the large steamships get most of the publicity for bringing people up Lake George, the fact is that the railroads brought most people into the Adirondacks between 1880 and 1930. With there being renewed activity on the former Adirondack Railroad Line recently, this is a topic you won’t want to miss. It will touch on how the railroad brought people to the North Country, and how the trains brought life and activity to those who lived there.

Persis Granger is the editor of the John Thurman Quarterly and the President of Thurman Station Association.

More information on specific dates and times will be announced by the Friends of Historic Huletts as we get closer to summer. Plan on being at all three talks, you’ll be glad you did.
