Lorine, You're killing me! I can't go to this and I would love to! Are you going?
ReplyDeleteDon't I wish I could go! But alas, I cannot :-(
ReplyDeleteIf you're in Albany any time between Dec. 12 and next April, stop by the NYS Museum and see "Light on New Netherland," a traveling exhibit that will then go to several other locations, including Amsterdam and Hoorn, the Netherlands. It will be a good chance to learn about the history of New Netherland, which covered the area from Albany south to include Delaware.
