Have you ever wondered what life was like when everyone worked close to home and did business with neighbors nearly every day?  The lives of Clifford and Mary Danforth, great grandparents of Jefferson Historical Society President Kevin Berner, exemplify those simpler times.  Kevin will give a talk about these folks who lived in the late 19th C. into the early 20th C., and whose experiences were typical of life in small town American at that time.  Looking at family photographs, diary entries, and articles in newspapers of the day, Kevin’s talk will show how time was spent -- the chores, the pastimes, the interactions and business dealings with other Jefferson residents, that made up community life in Jefferson. 

This presentation will take place at Judd Hall, 163 Main St., Jefferson, 12093, at 2pm on Sunday, May 21.  Following the talk, the Nicholas J. Juried Museum of Jefferson History will be open to visitors.  Refreshments will be served.
