Meet the Pathmaster

Waterford History Highlighted at Conference
Local historian, Paul Schneider, has continued his research on the Eddy Family and will be presenting a paper at the upcoming Western Frontier Symposium to be held at the Fulton-Montgomery Community College, Johnstown, N.Y. in October. The focus of the conference is early transportation in the Mohawk Valley. Paul is going to present information culled from our collections relating to the extensive travel conducted by the Eddy’s to promote and sell their ink manufactured in Waterford, as well as other information relating to the business.
