As part of Glimmerglass Film Days and the Otsego 2000 Historic Preservation Series, Dr. Cindy Falk will lead a walking tour exploring Cooperstown’s architectural landscape and searching for messages from the past. The tour will highlight signs, datestones, and makers marks as well as less explicit communications that are embedded in the local built environment. Free, please register in advance.

Dr. Falk, a professor of material culture at the SUNY Oneonta Cooperstown Graduate Program, served as co-editor of Buildings & Landscapes: The Journal of the Vernacular Architecture Forum for five years and is the author of Barns of New York: Rural Architecture of the Empire State.
