Event Details

Join us in a discussion of the book "An Albany girlhood" by Huybertie Pruyn Hamlin.  This delightful book offers a glimpse into a privileged upbringing in Albany, New York, during the late 19th century. The book, based on the author's diaries and memoirs, is praised for its vivid descriptions of a time before modern conveniences, highlighting the joys of childhood activities like coasting down snowy streets and family travels.
