Curator's Talk

Join us this Sunday, July 13, 2 p.m., at the Cornwall Town Hall for a special lecture by Raechel Guest, Curator of our new exhibit, Cornwall and the Civil War, and Executive Director of the Cornwall Historical Society.

Ms. Guest will give an overview of Cornwall’s involvement in the Civil War and will highlight some of the surprising and little-known stories she discovered during her research for the exhibit. Her talk will be illustrated by slides of historic photographs and artifacts.
