March 2024

The February program was a video which had been produced and narrated by GPS member David Waite titled Ballston Spa’s Mexican War Monument: The Village Honors Its Fallen Sons. I believe all of us learned interesting information about the Mexican War.

Once again, we are sorry to have lost one of our GPS members, Ronald Feulner. Ron brought programs to our meetings about area history. He was president of the Greenfield Historical Society, and also served as Greenfield Historian, as well as being an author and teacher. Unfortunately, we have lost far too many members in the last few years. 

David Brooks, who presented our January program on video, will be with us live, and in person, for our March 4th meeting. He will bring us a program called DeWitt’s Duel, an interesting exploration of the life of DeWitt Clinton.  We will learn about early American life and New York politics in the early part of the 1800s.  Please join us!
