Sonnenberg during the late 1800s and early 1900s. For the past five years this panel, a group of historians and archivists, have studied and transcribed diaries, letters, ledgers, newspaper articles, and other relevant documents. This presentation will focus on popular recreational activities of Victorian times and how the Thompsons participated. Known for their philanthropies, the Thompsons gifts to the community and beyond for recreation will be discussed.
The panel thanks the Ontario County Historical Society and Sonnenberg Archives for access to their collections to unfold the Thompson story.
The admission fee will help support the newly formed Education Committee of Sonnenberg which will provide for future programs.
