Potsdam

Meer over het boek

Capturing the essence of Potsdam, this book showcases two hundred striking photographs that chronicle the town's history from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s. Nestled along the Racquette River, Potsdam was founded in 1787 to encourage settlement in New York State. Education has been central to its identity, beginning with the St. Lawrence Academy in 1816, which paved the way for the 1866 normal school that evolved into Potsdam College, home to the esteemed Crane School of Music.
