SUMMARY:Springville Center for the Arts: From There and Back Again
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 6\, 2026 – Monday\, June 15\, 2026All Day\n\n\n\n\nArtist Franklin LaVoie was painting before kindergarten. Around that same time\, a once-popular volume\, The World Book of Famous Paintings\, helped nourish his imagination. But his artwork underwent a profound transformation almost overnight in December of 1973. \nThat was when he became mesmerized by two color reproductions of medieval and Flemish paintings — Making Hay by Pieter Bruegel the Elder and A Winter Scene by Hendrick Avercamp. Something awakened in his soul. He spent hours absorbed in their meticulous detail. His imagination entered those painted worlds\, where every figure\, object\, and gesture seemed alive with meaning\, emotion\, and mystery. \nShortly afterward\, he discovered The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien and found a perfect resonance with those enchanted landscapes. Listening to the Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach\, he began drawing his own visions of Middle-earth. The music conjured images of elves\, hobbits\, forests\, and forgotten realms. For nine months he labored over a single drawing measuring only 9 x 11 inches\, filling it with myth\, memory\, and magic. For more than fifty years he dreamed of enlarging that youthful work so its hidden details could finally breathe at full scale. \nAt last\, here it is. The exhibition includes a broad selection of works\, old and new\, organized into thematic groupings such as Recent Works\, Celtic Themes — including the Elen of the Ways series — Buffalo–Niagara\, Early Drawings\, and studies inspired by enduring classical archetypes.

SUMMARY:The Erie Railroad Comes to Dunkirk
DESCRIPTION:The New York and Erie Rail Road was the first railroad to link the Atlantic and the Great Lakes; and when it opened in 1851 it was the longest railroad in the world. \nRailroad historian William D. Burt will show how it happened — the choice of Dunkirk as the western terminus\, the original line NY&E built and then abandoned in favor of a better one\, and the 1851 grand opening celebration.  He will discuss how railroad directors speculated in Dunkirk land and laid out several blocks of the city\, and how many Dunkirk streets are named for them. \nWhat is the Erie’s legacy in Dunkirk?  This well-illustrated presentation covers it all. \nBill published his first history article when he was in high school and has continued writing\, off and on\, ever since.  Following a career in the railroad industry\, he took up researching and writing about the history of the fascinating business\, with a primary interest in Eastern railroading\, particularly the Erie Lackawanna and its predecessor railroads. \nHe holds a BA in Political Science from SUNY Geneseo and a dual MS in Transportation Planning and Engineering and Management Science from Polytechnic Institute of New York (now part of NYU). He culminated a 27-year career in the railroad industry as President and COO of the Livonia\, Avon & Lakeville Railroad and its subsidiaries B&H Rail Corp. and Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad. \nPart of Here & There – Chautauqua County History\, Travelers\, & Memories \nAdmission is FREE\, although donations are gratefully accepted

SUMMARY:Jamestown Trolley #93 Marks 100th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:The Jamestown Street Railway Trolley Car #93 marks its 100th birthday this year. \nPut in service in 1926\, it was one of the many street cars that serviced passengers somewhere within Erie County\, NY\, Erie County\, PA\, and Chautauqua County. It is arguably the last surviving stand-alone car remaining from these areas. \nA group of volunteers has been working since 2014 to restore the trolley car\, a project that is now nearing completion. While pretty much cosmetically restored\, there is still some work to be done on the trucks (the four railroad type wheel assembly that supports the trolley on the rails)\, but that is waiting on the completion of its final display location. Plans for a display building in conjunction with the Fenton History Center are moving forward \, while fundraising for the project continues toward providing all that is necessary to ensure that this last remaining piece of Chautauqua County streetcar history is preserved. \nProject Volunteer Bob Johnston will talk about this important piece of Chautauqua County history and provide more information on its status and plans to celebrate its 100th birthday. \nPart of Here & There – Chautauqua County History\, Travelers\, & Memories \nAdmission is FREE\, although donations are gratefully accepted

SUMMARY:US Navy Band Sea Chanters
DESCRIPTION:The Navy Band Sea Chanters is the United States Navy’s official chorus. The ensemble performs a variety of music including traditional choral music\, sea chanteys\, patriotic fare\, opera\, Broadway and contemporary music. \nThe Sea Chanters regularly perform for the public in the Washington\, D.C.\, area and throughout the United States while on national tours. At home in Washington\, they perform for the president\, vice president and numerous congressional\, military and foreign dignitaries. \nIn 1956\, Lt. Harold Fultz\, then the band’s assistant leader\, organized a vocal group from the Navy School of Music to sing chanteys and patriotic songs for the State of the Nation dinner. Recognizing the ensemble’s immediate success\, Adm. Arleigh Burke\, then Chief of Naval Operations\, transferred the group to the Navy Band\, named them the Sea Chanters and tasked this all-male chorus with perpetuating the songs of the sea. \nIn 1980\, the group added women to its ranks and expanded its repertoire to include everything from Brahms to Broadway. \nAdmission is FREE\, although there is a limit of four tickets per request. Call or visit the Box Office\, 716-679-1891\, T-F\, 12-4:30pm.  Tickets Available Feb. 10

SUMMARY:Chautauqua County & America's 250th
DESCRIPTION:America celebrates the 250th Anniversary of its independence this year; and all across the nation events are being planned to commemorate this milestone. Chautauqua County is no different. \nThere were no Revolutionary War battles in Chautauqua County\, and precious few Native Americans and no white settlers living here\, Consequently people generally think our Revolutionary War heritage consists only of our veterans buried in local cemeteries and possibly a very few artifacts brought in by the earliest families. However\, there are half a dozen or so ways in which the land that is now Chautauqua County did have some particular relevance to the war. \nChautauqua County Historian Norman Carlson will examine these ways in this talk. From the personal notebook of Eliakim Garfield which documented events between 1771 and 1797\, including the outbreak of the Revolutionary War\, and now resides at the Fenton Historical Center in Jamestown\, to Continental currency notes from 1776 that were used to finance the war later found in Ripley\, to suspicion that alleged turncoat Simon Ginty lived for a time in Chautauqua County. These connections and more will be explored by Carlson. \nCarlson has been Chautauqua County’s Historian since 2024. He has extensive experience in the field having spent nearly 30 years as Collections Manager at the Fenton History Center in Jamestown and having been highly active in various local history organizations. Notably\, he has volunteered with the Busti Historical Society for more than 50 years and has been involved with the Busti Bicentennial Committee\, reflecting his dedication to preserving and promoting local history. \nPart of Here & There – Chautauqua County History\, Travelers\, & Memories \nAdmission is FREE\, although donations are gratefully accepted
