At 1 p.m. on March 12, the three organizations will present “Waterford to Waterford: Irish Connections.”

The hour-long program will explore the historical connections and shared cultural aspects of both Waterford, Ireland and Waterford, New York through the lasting legacy of heritage within the greater Capital Region and Saratoga County. 

Featured presentations include “The Irish Language in America,” by Dr. Seamus Dillion (Waterford Institute of Technology) and “Waterford to Waterford, Local Connections,” by Russ VanDervoort (Waterford Town Historian and History Center Trustee).  “It is sure to be an interesting, educational, and fun approach to language, immigration, and exploring culture,” notes Waterford Historical Museum & Cultural Center Director, Anastasia Garceau.
