LGHA 2026 History Talk Series
📅 Saturday, May 2, 2026
🕒 3:00 PM
Join author and curator Amy Godine for an engaging presentation that expands beyond her book, The Black Woods, to explore the broader Black Adirondack experience.
Drawing on decades of research, Godine brings forward the stories of Black pioneers, miners, and activists—alongside Spanish road workers, Eastern European peddlers, and others whose lives shaped this region but are too often overlooked. By placing these histories within larger movements like suffrage and the impact of eugenics, she offers a deeper understanding of the Adirondacks’ past.
This event is FREE and open to the public. The Lake George Historical Association is committed to sharing inclusive, well-researched history. We welcome those interested in learning more about the Adirondack Park’s rich and sometimes challenging story, and we encourage thoughtful, respectful engagement.
