A short Why Troy Presentation will take place in the Old Troy Church beginning at 5:30pm. In conjunction with our Summer Exhibit: Telling Troy's Stories, these presentations will discuss the people that settled Troy into the city it is today. Presentation will include excerpts from oral histories and memoirs including recordings from the Why Troy Oral Histories Project. After the presentation, we welcome you to explore the Village to see our temporary summer exhibit.
Inside the Church are pews and standard wooden chairs to sit during the presentation. The building has a ramp entrance and accessible bathrooms inside. Assisted listening devices are available, please ask a staff member if you would like to use one.
All ages are welcome to attend the presentation; however, the style of the presentation will be geared towards adults.
