The Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center will host a really interesting presentation on Tuesday, October 9th of legendary, historic airplanes and the heritage of aviation in New York to kick-off the return of our Science and Technology Lecture Series. Enjoy splendid food, hear about famous planes and a great local museum, and enjoy a fun time at McGreivey’s in Waterford, one of this area’s finest restaurants. Registration starts at 6:30pm, lecture at 7:00pm and food and drink will be available for purchase all evening.
Our guest speaker, Kevin Millington of the Empire State Aerosciences Museum in Glenville, will provide an overview of the museum, including its truly spectacular collection of planes, exhibits, and programs. He will also highlight the opening ceremony of the State Canal System this year in Waterford, which featured the transit of three historic combat jets from NYC to ESAM via the canal.
