ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

WHMCC’s latest exhibit goes underground to explore Waterford’s recent and not-so-recent past. With the help of experts in the field including exhibit consultant Matthew Kirk from Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc. and exhibit designer Paul G. Schneider, Jr., the Museum has created an exciting exhibit which features objects from WHMCC’s collection as well as the collections of private individuals, the New York State Museum, and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. History Underfoot offers a unique opportunity to learn about the Capital District’s place in history by examining the archeological record of the region, featuring artifacts found from local archeological digs in and around Waterford. With a compelling narrative, objects from 50 to 5,000 years old on display and a hands-on discovery section perfect for kids, History Underfoot has something to appeal to all ages and interests. Funding for the exhibit was provided in part by The Adirondack Trust Company Community Fund’s “Lend a Hand” grant. The exhibit opening on June 6 is from 6pm to 8pm and is free to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

In addition to the History Underfoot exhibit installation, two smaller exhibits, It Was 1964 and Technology, People and Industry: The Canals of Waterford will also be unveiled to the public on June 6^th.
