SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: By the Shores of Solon Pond
DESCRIPTION:An unforgettable Civil War-era coming-of-age saga of family\, sacrifice\, and the hard-won courage to hope. \nWaldo Potter has spent his life in the shadows of Solon Pond—working the fields\, tending to chores\, and carrying the weight of his family’s expectations on a farm that barely survives. In upstate New York on the brink of the American Civil War\, he longs for something more even as the burdens at home grow heavier. \nWith his father’s farm slipping toward ruin and familial resentments rising\, Waldo finds an unexpected mentor in his Uncle Charles—whose steady guidance offers both comfort and challenge. When war calls\, Waldo enlists\, stepping into a world of battle\, hardship\, and hard truths that reshape him from the inside out. \nFrom the rich rhythms of rural life to the brutal realities of war\, By the Shores of Solon Pond captures one young man’s journey from boyhood innocence to war-worn self-understanding and his enduring devotion to family. It is a story of heroism\, sacrifice\, and the resilience of the human spirit. \nThis year is our ELEVENTH year of providing lunchtime learning opportunities for our community\, and we hope you’ll join us to learn more about local and regional history! \nWhat to know: \n~This event will take place at our event center located at 9 Grace Street\, Cortland. There is a small parking lot and additional street parking. \n~Bring your own lunch if you wish\, and we will provide a beverage and dessert. \n~Admission is free for members of the Cortland County Historical Society (CCHS) and $5 for CCHS members-to-be. Membership is a fantastic way for you to help CCHS preserve and share local history for just pennies a day! Consider becoming a member today: https://cortland-county-historical-society-inc.square.site/membership. \n~Please call us at 607-756-6071 with any questions\, and we’ll be glad to help.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: American sculptor William Couper
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated talk explores the surprising connection between the American sculptor William Couper (1853-1942) and the city of Cortland\, New York. Late in life Couper moved to Cortland to live with his son\, the painter William Alan Couper\, who had established a home at 94 Tompkins Street. During his final years there\, Couper had largely left sculpture behind and devoted himself to painting. The presentation traces Couper’s artistic career\, his connection to Thomas Ball\, and the rediscovery of his Cortland residency through local historical research. Sculptures from the speaker’s collection and a painting by William Alan Couper donated to the Cortland County Historical Society will be featured. \nThis year is our ELEVENTH year of providing lunchtime learning opportunities for our community\, and we hope you’ll join us to learn more about local and regional history! \nWhat to know: \n~This event will take place at our event center located at 9 Grace Street\, Cortland.

SUMMARY:Tick Tock and Tall Tales: A Horological Happening
DESCRIPTION:Time flies—unless you’re at the Eastern States Regional\, where it ticks\, tocks\, chimes\, and occasionally cuckoos. This isn’t just any collector’s meet-up. It’s the 55th annual gathering of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors\, drawing horology enthusiasts from across the Northeast to marvel at mechanical mysteries\, trade timeless treasures\, and swap stories that are anything but secondhand. \nExplore a sprawling mart filled with clocks\, watches\, tools\, and dusty tomes that whisper of lost hours and forgotten makers. Sit in on hands-on workshops where novices become time tamers and masters reveal their secrets. And if you’ve picked up an odd little timepiece that seems to tick backwards or knows too much… bring it to the Antique Watch & Clock Roadshow. You never know what tales the gears might tell. \nIt’s all happening at the J.M. McDonald Sports Complex in Cortland\, now the new (and aptly timed) home for this curious convention. Open to the public\, $30 at the door\, and free if you’re 18 or under—because it’s never too early to develop a healthy obsession with antique mechanisms and mysterious machinery. \nFor more information\, visit nawccers.com. Just be warned: once you start down the winding path of watch lore\, it’s hard to stop… even if your watch is.

SUMMARY:Stagecoaches\, Saloons & the Strange Side of Travel: A Talk with Richard F. Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Before GPS and gas stations\, there were muddy turnpikes\, bumpy coaches\, and taverns where you might hear a ghost story and get a hot meal—if you were lucky. \nJoin author and history-sleuth Richard F. Palmer for a deep dive into the dusty days of stagecoaches and roadside inns in 19th-century Cortland County. With rare photographs\, traveler tales\, and tavern gossip\, Palmer revives a long-lost era when the mail was slow\, the whiskey was strong\, and the roads were… questionable. \nThis fascinating presentation and book signing will explore the quirky and crucial role early transportation played in shaping our region—and all the curious characters it carried along the way. \nPalmer is the author of The Old Line Mail: Stage Coach Days in Upstate New York (North Country Books\, 2022)\, a must-read for fans of forgotten road trips and haunted highways.
