Treat your sweetie and come visit the Onondaga Historical Association on Sunday, February 15th at 2:00pm for a valentine from one of America’s greatest humorists, Samuel Clemens’ also known as Mark Twain; a presentation of the heart warming and witty “The Diaries of Adam and Eve”. Extracts from “Adam’s Diary” were first published in “the Niagara Book”, a souvenir publication sold at the Buffalo Worlds Fair in 1893. The setting of Eden is near Niagara Falls, NY with reference to Tonawanda, NY. “Eve’s Diary” was written in 1906, and the two works were published together in one volume for the first time in 1931.

Irene Sargent, writer, critic, teacher, and quite possibly the instigator of The Craftsman magazine, carved out a unique spot in the history of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. Distinguished from other key figures in the movement who were mostly makers involved with design reform, she was instead a historian of art, architecture, and the decorative arts. She was a very important find for Stickley, who needed an expert to articulate his ideas. To celebrate the centennial issue of The Craftsman, Sargent's biographer, Cleota Reed, has contributed an article to Style 1900's celebratory November issue. She will present a paper on the subject in Newport, Rhode Island in September at Salve Regina University's Fifth Annual Conference on Cultural and Historic Preservation, "The Arts and Crafts Movement Reexamined." She will repeat this talk for the Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York. Reed's presentation explores Sargent's unique partnership with Stickley and examines the magazine's critical Syracuse years.
