She did…what?

And…Why here?

Why Bolton Landing?

What brought these seven women to Bolton Landing?

Each one has a connection to Bolton and Bolton Landing, connections that express our community’s history, cultural diversity, and appeal. 

And, while the seven women featured in the East Gallery have individual stories and achievements that range far beyond this specific place on the shores of Lake George, their time here, their being here, resonates with this place: they were variously—and often simultaneously—creative forces and dynamic leaders of social causes.

Attention aspiring creators, day dreamers, fun seekers and free thinkers…             

Bolton Historical Museum presents Summer Youth Programming as part of the female centered exhibitions, She Did…WHAT? This program will be offered to girls ages 8-15 to create a progressive mural in the museum.  We want you to show us what inspires you, who inspires you, and what ideas and dreams you have for the future.  Enrollees will meet one day a week during the summer months to work on this fun multi-media project and its progress will be on display for visitors to the museum to enjoy.  The program will be taught by an incredible team of artist/teachers who will guide the process of this creative experience. For more information and to sign-up, check out the form below.
