THE DIRECTOR'S CHOICE

Now available at the Joseph Ellicott Book & Gift Shop is the recently published book Up~South: Spring by Lynda Breckenridge Gaetano. This story of the pioneer courage is told through the wizened spirit of an old sugar maple tree. There are tales of trailblazing land agents, and land surveyors, which represented the Dutch Bankers of the Holland Purchase, farmers and their families during the early 1800s. These threads of real life stories, folklore, and local history, are woven together to wrap you in a reminder of Western New York's past, with hopes to inspire you to search your own roots and to share family anecdotes of yesterday's generations with tomorrow's contemporaries. To order your copy today, contact the Museum at (585) 343-4727, or info@hollandlandoffice.com.
