Happy New Year.
We start the new year breaking a resolution. We promised last week a new show this week, but Lance fell sick over the holidays and without our cameraman, Richard and I don't have much of a show. Richard, believed "the show must go on, " so he chose some of his favorite shows to air this week.
We'll see you next week!

Fort Plain Museum and Historical Site
The Fort Plain Museum is on the site of a Revolutionary War fort. The fort helped protect the Mohawk Valley during the struggle for American independence.
A 1/4 scale blockhouse serves as a vending stand during the annual "Holding Down the Fort" celebration the first week in August.
Archeological digs in the 1960s &70s confirmed that the site was indeed the fort's northwest blockhouse. Cannon balls, grapeshot and other artillery hardware were recovered.
Findings included barracks buildings,
officers quarters, a small hexagonal
blockhouse, 2 elevated bastions and
earthen log walls. Many of the artifacts
recovered are on display in the museum.
The DAR House (Chapter House for the Daughters of the American Revolution)Remember when we learned about Isaac Paris on our Road Trip to the Town of Paris? The oldest building in Fort Plain was his trading post and home, now the DAR House. It was built with some wood from the Governor Clarke House. At one time, the Otsquago Creek ran through the bottom of the hill.
When the Revolutionary War ended, people from
farther west in the state came to Isaac Paris, Jr. They
explained that due to the damage done to their crops
by the war, there was nothing to eat. He transported
goods to them. In return, the people gave him some
goods of another kind. When their town was
incorporated, they named it "Paris."

Canajoharie
Last summer when we visited Canajoharie, our series was interrupted by a major flood. We wanted to return this year to see how the downtown has recovered and to visit the new museum. The Arkell Museum at Canajoharie opened last month and several thousand people have visited and downtown Canajoharie has been beautifully restored with many shops taking the opportunity to improve their storefronts.
Arkell Museum
Visitors to the museum will discover paintings by American artists such as Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri, Maurice Prendergast and Georgia O'Keeffe on display in the galleries. Mohawk Valley history and Beech-Nut advertising are also featured in new exhibitions.
You can see the Arkell sign from the highway as you head East from Utica.
When you enter the museum, you will be walking on a great map of the Mohawk Valley painted into the concrete floor.
Bartlett Arkell, founder of Beechnut, wanted to share his American art collection with the community. Many pieces in his collection are of the Mohawk Valley.

Today, with cell phones and blue tooth technology, we take communication for granted. Malio tells us of the time when alarm boxes were mounted on corner telephone poles, and you would drop in, or expect you neighbors to, unannounced.
