Conception of the Erie Canal
Join us at the library to hear Erie Canal Museum‘s Derrick Pratt present on the Conception of the Erie Canal.
Wednesday, June 14, 2023 – 2 PM
While the Erie Canal took only 8 years to dig, getting to the point where people could start digging was a nearly 100 year long process. This talk looks at the early efforts to harness new York’s interior waterways and the political wrangling that almost kept the “Eighth Wonder of the World” from happening.

Local Heroes Charles and Donny Brown
Miss Marion Pike was a teacher at Mannsville School from 1936 until about 1944 and her family kindly donated her scrapbook to the library. There are many photos of local World War II servicemembers in the book and we think Ms. Pike kept up with her former students throughout their service. However, many of the servicemembers’ photos are unidentified. Won’t you stop by the library and help us put names to their faces?

A clipping from the scrapbook kept by Mannsville High School history teacher Miss Marion Pike. Ms. Pike taught at Mannsville from 1936 until about 1944. Her scrapbook for those years was donated to Mannsville Free Library by her cousin Ms. Lydia L. Birr of Hilton, New York. Underneath this clipping Ms. Pike noted that Oren Austen, was her student in 1937 and was a “nice kid.”
