Living History Lecture
Joseph Ellicott
presented by Dennis Upton
Sunday, August 16th 1pm
Most of us are acquainted with places with the Ellicott name: Ellicottville, Ellicott Creek, the town of Ellicott, the Ellicott Building, various Ellicott Roads. However, there is so much more to learn about this man who was a key figure in surveying and selling land in Western New York in the late 1700's and early 1800's. For many, Ellicott's name is synonymous with the Holland Land Company and the development of the western end of New York State.
Tickets: $10
