This program discusses the historical and cultural significance of cemeteries as well as the challenges facing these sites, such as neglect and development. Speakers will share personal stories and explore strategies for preserving and restoring these important landmarks, including community engagement and collaboration with local government and historical groups.
By preserving abandoned cemeteries, we can ensure that the memories and stories of our ancestors continue to be passed down to future generations, and that these sacred places are respected and cherished for years to come.

This process involved the seizure and demolition of property in an effort to improve infrastructure and modernize cities. In reality, this often meant the destruction of historic structures, and disproportionately affected low-income communities and small businesses. The Empire State Plaza in Albany is perhaps one of the state’s most well-known urban renewal projects, spearheaded by Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller. But smaller cities, like Gloversville, also undertook these projects, for better or for worse.
Utilizing newspaper archives, city records, and other resources, explore the history of Gloversville’s urban renewal projects, from the proposed Midtown Park to the never-completed “ring road.” Learn how these efforts affected the community and take a tour through photos to see just what has changed downtown.
