What's on this spring
Constance Silverman and Doug Welch present an exhibition of photographs that compare and contrast 19th century life along Columbia County’s extensive network of dirt roads with contemporary winter scenes photographed along those same roads by local high school students.
On the Birge Hill Farm and on other small farms, families and neighbors worked cheek by jowl to sustain their small, tightly woven communities, until vast changes in technology, industry and society forever altered their rural way of life.
The Columbia County Historical Society collects, preserves, interprets and shares the history and culture of Columbia County, New York.
