Ghent Town Historian Presents:  Golden Age of Town Life: Ghent, NY 1900-1925, to benefit the Ghent Playhouse, Nov 1st and 2nd

On Saturday, November 1st, at 4pm, and Sunday, November 2th, at 2pm,

“We’re going to take an up-close look at the lives of two Ghent residents from one hundred years ago, my great grandfather farmer Chris Berninger, and nineteen-year-old schoolteacher Anna Plass, later Anna Moore.”, said Berninger. “We’re going to talk about life off the farm and outside the house, places where people worked, socialized, and spent time with one another.” It was a golden age of organic community; everyone was rich with social capital.

Berninger is well-known for his lively public presentations and YouTube videos. Locally and internationally acclaimed photographer Richard Beaven has called him a “fantastic, engaging, interesting bloke”, and Ghent Town Supervisor Craig Simmons has declared himself Gregg’s “biggest fan”.

Tickets for this hour-long illustrated talk are $10 with all proceeds going to the Ghent Playhouse. Tickets may be available at the door or for reservations: https://ghentplayhouse.simpletix.com/

Location: Ghent Playhouse, 6 Town Hall Place, Ghent, NY
