Water Cures & Their Role in the Temperance, Abolition, & Women's Rights Movements In-Person
As part of our 2026-2027 series on abolition in conjunction with New York State's observance of the 200th anniversary of abolition, local historian and researcher Jane Oakes joins us to present this program of local relevance.
from presenter Jane Oakes: "Water cures were not only a place to get well, but often were where radical ideas about the rights of women, abolition, women's dress reform, and temperance were promoted. Learn about our regional water cure owners who contributed to some of the great social movements of the nineteenth century."
Registration is appreciated but not required for this event as light refreshments will be provided.
