The Orange Blossoms in the Civil War: A Book Talk and Signing
Registration not limited to Warwick cardholders.
Author Chuck Larocca will discuss his new book, The 124th New York State Volunteers in the Civil War, detailing the journey of the local unit, which saw action in many of the major battles of the War such as Gettysburg and Chancellorsville. Enriched with much newly-uncovered primary source material -- such as letters written by eyewitnesses, including Captain James Benedict of Warwick -- the book presents a richly-detailed and poignant view of the experience of the war. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

Meet the Artist: Photojournalist Robert Demetry
On exhibit throughout December in the Gallery on the lower level: Talking Pictures: 50 years of Photo Journalism by Robert Demetry.
Robert Demetry will be on hand to discuss his work with interested gallery visitors. On display are many of the photos that have garnered international, national and regional awards.
Robert Demetry belongs to a special breed of news reporters. He has the instincts of a newsman, but as a photographer, he also has the compulsive desire to share his pictures with others. He is a "photojournalist."
