Over the past few years, the Greece Historical Society has coordinated the presentation of an extensive series of programs at our museum on Sunday afternoons. Several of these programs were recorded in the museum, some were recorded at the Greece Public Library on Tuesday nights, and a few conducted at the Charlotte Public Library on a Sunday afternoon were recorded. During this time of social distancing, they were done over Zoom. Below are all the programs we have available on our Youtube Channel as well as linked below as embedded videos. More programs will be added as time permits. The Presentations are going to be listed in alphabetical order by the title of the program and under the title will be the date it was recorded and the category of the program which will tell you if it was a Tuesday Program, a Sunday Program or a Zoom Program, followed by the tags that are associated with the programs and then a brief description of each program, and on the left will be the featured image of the program so you can understand what the program topic is on. Some of these topics are linked to some of the bicentennial snapshots and the Living in Greece Newsletter stories so you can see what topics connect and able to find more information that we have in our historical archives to research from and learn more history of the Town of Greece from its beginning to the present and its future.
Please take time to watch some of these enlightening programs. As always, feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss any of these materials.
