Programs

Explore the tools and techniques of ice harvesting with Monica Gray, Director of Archival Services at the New York State Archives. Learn how ice was once harvested from lakes and rivers during the winter months, see historical photos, and try out real ice tongs. 

Ever wonder how we got here? Join Dr. Jeremy J. Kirchman, Curator of Birds and Mammals at the New York State Museum, for an evening of science at The Hollow Bar + Kitchen. In celebration of Darwin’s birthday, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of evolution—no lab coat required!

Dr. Kirchman will take us on a tour of scientific discovery from the radical, brave thinking of Charles Darwin to the current era of genomics research that is revealing the ways that humans have been both the target of natural selection and an agent of selection on other species. Whether you're a science enthusiast or just looking for something new and exciting to learn over a drink, this is the place to be. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your thirst for knowledge (and maybe a pint too)! Let's toast to Darwin and the amazing journey of life.

This fun, interactive program is free to attend. Food and drink are not included but are available for individual purchase at the venue.
