Cave House to Host SUNY Wildlife Professor

HOWES CAVE—The Cave House Museum of Mining and Geology hosts SUNY Cobleskill Professor of Wildlife Management Roger Masse on Sunday, July 13, offering “Young Forest Management to Protect Declining Species.”

The free program begins at 2 p.m.

The Cave House, at 136 Blowing Rock Road, will be open that day from noon to 4 p.m. Admission to the museum is also free. Donations are appreciated.

The following program in the museum’s summer series will be Aug. 10, when Cobleskill Author Dana Cudmore will offer “Where’d Our Stone Go?” documenting several of the early 20th Century engineering marvels that used stone and cement from local quarries.

The Cave House, adjacent to the original entrance to Howe’s Cave, is where the remarkable story of the caverns, quarry, and community begins. The museum is a nonprofit, NYS-chartered educational institution, that promotes a greater understanding of the importance that local and regional geology and mining plays in our lives.
