The Institute of History, Archaeology and Education (IHARE) is pleased to announce a joint teacher and pubic program in conjunction with the annual New York History Association (NYHA) conference. The goal is to have an annual program which will rotate throughout the state during the beginning of June following the weekday academic conference. The program would include visits to historic sites in the vicinity of the conference, presentations by scholars who have attended the conference, and teacher workshops focusing on different themes in New York State history.

The two themes to be addressed in the initial program are (1) the Civil War in New York State and (2) the Iroquois. The program will take place at the Iroquois Indian Museum in Howes Cave and at the Fenimore Art Museum and Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown.
