History Sandwiched In: Early Finger Lakes Agriculture
February 16, 2022, 12:30 pm -
Turner’s History of the Holland Land Purchase includes illustrations of farms through four stages of development in Western New York.
The second program in Historic Geneva's spring 2022 History Sandwiched In series will take place on February 16 at 12:30 p.m. Director of Education, Anne Dealy, will focus on the 19th-century agriculture of the Finger Lakes. During the 1800s, American agriculture was transformed from a mostly subsistence, family-run enterprise to one focused on market production. As seen in the transformation of the historic Johnston farm, this development impacted farmers in the Finger Lakes and throughout the northeast.
