Arkell Museum Great Hall

Join David Brooks, Education Director at Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, as he looks at the similarities and differences between DeWitt Clinton and George Washington as they navigate the waters of internal improvements in early America.

This presentation includes a gallery tour of the Portraits and Landscapes exhibition. Brooks will compare the portraits of both George Washington and DeWitt Clinton - noting their clothing, as well as their expressions - and how each of the two men “wore” success as well as failure in politics, personal life, and especially canal projects.

Admission to the talk and tour are FREE.
