What are the things in our homes and museums that mean the most to us? How do we preserve the past and speak to the future? What would you save if your house were on fire? Producer/director Jonathan Fein presents a lecture based on his acclaimed PBS documentary film Objects and Memory. Illustrating his lecture with video, Jonathan explores how otherwise ordinary things become transformed into precious conveyors of experience, emotion, and identity. “Objects and Memory” is jointly presented by the Croton Council on the Arts, the Croton Free Library, and the Croton Friends of History.

 

All Village meetings are held at the Stanley H. Kellerhouse Municipal Building unless otherwise noted:

*Shown live on Channel 78. Regular meetings are rebroadcast at 8 PM on Wednesdays and Fridays.
