While we know little about the feelings of the Livingstons who lived at Clermont about the topic of women's rights, there were several Livingston descendants who played a major role in the suffrage movement, both in New York State, and nationally. Learn more about Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Elizabeth Smith Miller, and Anne Fitzhugh Miller, and their tireless work for women's rights. The lecture will be presented by Ashley Hopkins Benton. Ms. Hopkins-Benton is a Senior Historian and Curator of Social History at the New York State Museum, where she focuses on women's history, LGBTQ+ history, immigration, sculpture, and toys. She is the author of Breathing Life Into Stone: The Sculpture of Henry DiSpirito, and co-author of Votes for Women: Celebrating New York's Suffrage Centennial and Enterprising Waters: The History and Art of New York's Erie Canal. Hopkins-Benton holds her MA in history museum studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program and her BA in art education and studio art from SUNY Potsdam. This lecture is free, but space is extremely limited. Those wishing to attend must register in advance at https://www.friendsofclermont.org/events.

The Sheep & Wool Showcase is a family festival that celebrates historic fiber arts, culture, and craft. We host a shopping concourse featuring skilled artisans and local craftspeople. The Showcase is a great place to support small businesses! As the first of the wool festival season, we are the place to get over your cabin fever with brilliantly colored yarns, roving, and hand-woven scarves. Craft guilds will demonstrate spinning and weaving throughout the day. Herding and sheep shearing—using three different historic techniques form the centerpiece of the action. Find crafts for kids, 18th century reenactors, and live traditional music all in one beautiful location! The admission fee is $10/vehicle.
