The Clarkson Historical Society and the Morgan-Manning House Museum will jointly present a 2025 Lecture Series at the Clarkson Academy. The Academy is located in the Town of Clarkson, at 8343 West Ridge Road.
The first talk will be given on the evening of April 1, at 7 p.m. Bill Lattin, former Cobblestone Society director and Orleans County historian, and Cobblestone director Doug Farley will look back at dozens of architectural treasures in Orleans County which succumbed to the wrecking ball over the decades. A narrated slideshow will be presented in “before and after” style, with photographs of the original structure along with what each of the sites looks like today. Lattin recently republished his book on the subject, adding several additional structures which were destroyed during the last few decades.
The presentations are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided by Triangle Tract Historical Society and Clarkson Historical Society. Bill Lattin will also sign copies of his book Architecture Destroyed, which will be available for purchase.
