SUMMARY:April Local History Book Club
DESCRIPTION:April 8\, 2026\, Meeting of WCHS Local History Book Club\n\nThe Washington County Historical Society’s Local History Book Club will meet from 12:30 to 1:30 on Wednesday\, April 8\, at\nthe Slate Valley Museum\, 17 Water Street\, Granville\, NY. Membership in the historical society is not required.\n\nThe topic is the role of Jay Gould\, billionaire\, in Granville’s slate industry. Any biography of Gould can be read such as\nthose by Greg Steinmetz\, Maury Klein\, and Edward Renehan. Online articles can be researched. A 1976 Post Star article\nreported that Gould (1836-1893) caused middle Granville to grow in the 1860s. He purchased the Rutland and\nWashington Railroad in 1863 and a slate quarry thereafter. Gould financed a row of frame dwellings for his slate quarry\nemployees on what is now Route 22A. The town is said to have had the only working red slate quarries in the world.\nDuring his residency in the town\, Gould was a well-respected and well-liked businessman.\n\nFuture sessions of the club will feature topics related to the larger Adirondack area as well as works by local authors.\nUpcoming discussions include: local covered bridges\, Le Loup’s Bloody Trail from Salem to Argyle (1859)\, and flax and\nlinen in Washington County. For additional information\, email Connie Harris Farrington at\nconniehfarrington@outlook.com.

This presentation will explore some of the region’s places and personalities who played a part in both events that preceded the American Revolution and the events that decided it.\nAndrew Menzie is Director of Historical Interpretation at the Fort William Henry Museum where he oversees historical programming\, exhibit development\, and community engagement. He taught social studies and math for 30 years and has degrees in teaching\, history\, and civil engineering from Union College. In his spare time\, he tutors\, reads and listens to books whenever possible. He also works on fixing up his 1840s house.
