Historic Preservation Series continues through November
Building on the success of the Architectural Walking Tours of Richfield Springs, Cherry Valley and Sharon Springs in 2022, Otsego 2000 is offering a series of talks, walking tours, and a drop-in program on historic preservation topics.
“This year's programs are purposefully interdisciplinary, incorporating science and history, as well as aesthetics, as they relate to building design, construction, and use, " says Falk.
“The goal is to enrich our understanding of and appreciation for the built environment in Otsego County,” said Ellen Pope, executive director of Otsego 2000.

The tenth season of Glimmerglass Film Days offers you 28 film events over five days, November 10-14 in Cooperstown.
“We are delighted to have so many filmmakers joining us for the tenth season of Film Days,” says Ellen Pope, the executive director of Otsego 2000. “The opportunity to hear directly from filmmakers enriches the audiences’ experience, as well as the chance to interact informally with them at parties, guided walks, art exhibits, and throughout the festival.”
One strategy is to start with the films that include a filmmaker and/or guest speaker. You'll enrich your Film Days experience with insights into the films, key issues, and the craft of filmmaking. Also of note, two films include live music accompaniments.
