SUMMARY:Artist Talk: "DIRTY LAUNDRY and other women's work"
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Julie Thurber for a close and personal look into her exhibitions “DIRTY LAUNDRY and other women’s work” which is currently on display on the Museum’s second floor. Admission to this tour is simply the cost of admission to the Cayuga Museum ($10-$12). The tour will begin at 2 PM on the Museum’s second floor. \n  \nAbout the Exhibit \n\n\nFrom the Civil War through the middle of the 20th century\, so much of a woman’s experience was intended to be kept out of view\, lest she or her family be shamed. Women had been ingrained to be submissive\, question their own voices and to prize appearance. You are invited to touch and examine these pieces for an intimate encounter with our tightly laced past and ask yourself if we still have some “dirty laundry” to address.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Lecture: "Women in the Military & Hidden Women's History"
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Women in the Military’ exhibit at the Frontenac Historical Society in Union Springs is part of the Hidden Women’s History Room at the museum. Over the last three years\, the Museum has undertaken research and presentations of the roles and activities of local women\, whose names and activities in the history of women’s suffrage have been forgotten—or never noted. The story of the exhibit\, as well as the story of women in national military history\, and the stories of the local women veterans the Museum discovered fit perfectly into the Hidden Women’s History Room. This presentation tells that story and the stories within it of many of the area women who served in the military. \nJoin Linda Albrecht from the Frontenac Historical Society as she explores the research\, conversations\, and stories that went in to the creation of this newly re-designed exhibit. The lecture will begin at 12 PM in the Carriage House Theater. Program admission is “Pay What You Wish.” Outside food is welcome and encouraged for this lecture. \nAbout the Speaker\nLinda Albrecht has been a member of the Frontenac Historical Society for several years. She currently serves on the Museum Board and is an active curator and docent of the museum. After teaching reading for several years in the NYS Division for Youth\, as the state juvenile justice agency was formerly known\, she became the director of the Lansing Residential Center for Girls. The facility became a national model for ‘gender-responsive services’ for girls in juvenile justice which was one of three primary initiatives of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in the US Department of Justice. Albrecht was a national program development consultant providing training and development assistance to state and private service providers. \nAfter retirement\, Albrecht became part of the development of the Women’s Forgotten History initiative at the Frontenac\, which is situated in the midst of a historic hotbed of the suffrage movement seeking to discover its own history in that movement.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Land Speculation on the Early Development of Auburn\,  New York
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Dr. Anderson will discuss the extent to which land speculation along the early Post-Revolutionary New York frontier had both positive and negative impacts on the economic growth and future industrial development of emerging communities like Auburn. \nUsing for comparison what happened to land sales in the Cayuga Reservation and Seneca Falls\, as well as those in the larger scale speculations further west\, Dr. Anderson will demonstrate that Auburn’s development and the prosperity of its early entrepreneurs benefited greatly from the more free market conditions found among land speculations in The New Military Tract\, where it was centrally located. \nReservations & Live Stream\n\nAdmission to this program is $10 for the general public\, $5 for Museum Members.

SUMMARY:Vanished but Not Forgotten: The Legacy of Cayuga County’s Jewish Community
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the history of Jewish life in Auburn and Cayuga County\, tracing the story of Congregation B’nai Israel from its beginnings in the late 19th century to its closure in 2013. Drawing on archival research\, personal narratives\, and community records\, This conversation will highlight the contributions of Jewish residents to Auburn’s civic\, cultural\, and economic life\, including key figures such as George Michaels\, a former member of New York State Assembly\, and Maurice Schwartz\, a former mayor of Auburn. We’ll also examine the challenges faced by small Jewish communities in upstate New York\, the role of interfaith collaboration\, and how B’nai Israel’s legacy continues through charitable initiatives\, Holocaust remembrance efforts\, and local historical preservation. This presentation invites reflection on the broader story of small-town Jewish life in America and the enduring impact of communities that may no longer exist physically but remain vital parts of our shared history. \n  \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nAustin Reid is a writer and historian whose work focuses on documenting hidden Jewish histories and legacies\, with a particular interest in small-town Jewish communities in the United States and beyond. His research has been featured in The Cleveland Plain Dealer\, Jewish Telegraphic Agency and The Times of Israel\, and he has presented his work at various historical societies and libraries. Austin’s exploration of Auburn’s Jewish history stems from his broader efforts to understand how Jewish communities have shaped\, and been shaped by\, the places they called home. He holds degrees from Capital University and Cornell University and is passionate about uncovering stories that connect local history to broader cultural and historical currents. \n\nAdmission to this program is $10 for the general public\, $5 for Museum Members. If you have access to a Museum Guest Pass\, you may redeem a pass for free entry to this program. \nIf you are unable to attend this program in-person\, you may request access to the live stream with a $5 donation.
