WCHS Local History Book Club

Washington County Historical Society’s local history book club will meet from 12-1 PM on Friday, April 14, at the Old Stone House Library in Fort Ann, NY. Historical Society membership is not required.

The book club will discuss the two books about the Fort Ann area by Fred Tracy Stiles. Future sessions of the club will include books about the larger Adirondack area as well as some works by local authors. The proposed list of topics includes Ulysses Grant’s final days at Mount McGregor; Benedict Arnold’s building of the first Navy in Whitehall; the temperance movement in this area; and the slate industry in Washington County.
