Copake Grange Historian Janet Mackin will again
be on hand to provide special insight into the
history of the Copake Grange.
It's 1990, and amid many ominous signs, the last 25 functioning farms in Copake — farms that have been the backbone of the regional farming industry for over one hundred years — are struggling to survive, and to adapt to rapidly changing conditions, and ever-shrinking profits. And no one knows how this story will end!
Watch this unique and important documentary A Changing Scene: Farming in Copake Circa 1990, created and produced with enormous foresight, by Elinor Mettler and Polly Langdon, on Youtube (link here) or playing continuously during our summer exhibition. at the RJHS. 31 minutes.
