Beyond the Pines: The Founding of Schenectady
Wednesday, March 18 at 6:00
Presented by The Schenectady Historical Society
In 1661 Schenectady was founded at the crossroads of competing empires. Between the harsh realities of everyday subsistence and the delicate diplomatic balance of the day, survival was never guaranteed. What motivated a small band of Dutch settlers to come to this place beyond the pines? This presentation examines the complex characters and strange society of Schenectady’s origins.
