COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — October 10, 2014 — Hear experiences and memories of Otsego Lake from oral histories of local residents during Food for Thought on October 22 at the Fenimore Art Museum. Join William Walker, Associate Professor of History at SUNY Oneonta, as he plays excerpts and leads a discussion on the importance of the lake, how it has changed us, and how we have changed it.
