Here are the details for the meeting on September 18 in Syracuse. If you plan to attend, please contact me by email at bluffpoint@frontiernet.net or by telephone at (585) 473-0404. Thanks to David Minor for making these arrangements.
We're all set for the 18th. We will meet at the Onondaga Historical Association at 321 Montgomery Street in downtown Syracuse at 11AM Saturday morning. We will be on our own to explore the exhibits. The OHA's website explains, "Our museum is free, however, we encourage donations. We have many permanent exhibits covering areas of interest including the Underground Railroad, the Franklin Automobile, local brewing artifacts and early pottery manufacturing in CNY."
The Everson Museum of Art, several blocks away within easy walking distance will also be open for those who wish to divide their time between the two facilities. "Our permanent collection encompasses approximately 11,000 objects, including paintings, ceramics, sculpture and videos."
At 2 PM we will gather for lunch at Coleman's Authentic Irish Pub to the west of downtown - 100 South Lowell Avenue. Gerry Muhl will provide us with driving instructions at the OHA. We'd like to be able to provide them with an approximate number for us, by the day before or at least by that morning, so please reply to Martha Johnstone by e-mail reply or phone when you're more certain of your plans.
