Description
Author Marty Podskoch will give a Power Point presentation on the new edition of his book, The Adirondack Fire Towers: Their History and Lore, The Southern Districts. He will highlight the fire tower restoration work that has been done in the Adirondacks and discuss the history of the fire towers in the Southern Adirondacks.
During the late 19th and 20th centuries, fires rages out of control in many of New York State's vast wooded areas. The years 1903 and 1908 were particularly disastrous, and because of public outcry for protection from the devastation, the state began a rigorous fire prevention and control program, including the building of fire towers.
Join Marty at AFS as he discusses the vast history of these iconic Adirondack fixtures.
