Rev. Todd Farnsworth gave a wonderful presentation. It was informative, humorous, and at time touching. The participants really seemed to enjoy it. I think we can consider our attempt to hold a presentation in a different venue to be a success.

A video of the presentation is available (courtesy of the Briarcliff Congregational Church) via a link on the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society here.

Pastor Farnsworth has also allowed us to make available the full text of his presentation notes. You can find it here.
