Premiere of 'History and Mystery: The Video'
The Historical Society’s popular illustrated book History and Mystery: The Folklore and Legends of the Bristol Hills debuts in video form, thanks to a collaboration between the Historical Society and Finger Lakes Community College. Read more here about this unique, 35-minute, animated production set to original folk music by the local Marion Band (there’s a trailer to view too). And read more here about the book itself, which has sold more than 1,000 copies since its publication in 2023. There will be a 2 p.m. showing of the video followed by a panel discussion with the creators of the video and the book, and then by a reception and a 4 p.m. repeat showing of the video. The 4 p.m. showing will be captioned for the hard of hearing. Links at this calendar listing and at the video’s web page will take you to the registration page when it opens to the public on October 26. Members of the Bristol Hills Historical Society will receive an email providing an early-bird registration starting October 21. Click here to join the Society. Registration is free to Historical Society members and members of the Rochester Museum and Science Center, whose Cumming Nature Center hosts the video premiere. Others will be charged Cumming’s standard $3 admission fee.
