Dialogue on Land, Water, Health planned for August 12 at Hanford Mills

[East Meredith, NY] Hanford Mills Museum will host a free online program, LET’S TALK: A DIALOGUE ON LAND STEWARDSHIP, CLEAN WATER, AND COMMUNTY HEALTH on Wednesday, August 11 at 7 pm. The public is invited to participate in a conversation that will explore our relationships with the land, water, each other, and our communities. Hosted by public historian Will Walker, the Let’s Talk program will highlight interview selections from the oral history collections of Hanford Mills Museum and the Cooperstown Graduate Program. The program will feature oral histories with residents of Delaware and Otsego Counties, including farmers, business owners, artists, and scientists. After listening to these selections, participants will be invited to share their own experiences and ideas.

“By encouraging dialogue around key issues that affect all of us, we are seeking to advance understanding and identify new strategies to advance the public good,” said Liz Callahan, executive director of Hanford Mills Museum.
