To the Editor:

Michael Diana, Schenectady Historical Society educator, will present a program on the evolution of craft brewing. 

The first Dutch settlers arriving in New Netherland (today’s New York) depended on beer. Now, with the growing craft beer trend, we can truly see what an integral role beer has played in our history. 

Agriculture, transportation, technology, politics, and social issues have all played a part in beer’s history, and it in turn has affected our own lives.

This program, sponsored by the Clarksville Historical society, will be presented at 7 p.m. on Nov. 6 at the Clarksville Community Church at 1997 Delaware Turnpike.

Programs are open to the public, join us for this interesting program.
