	Seneca Ray Stoddard Through Stoddard's camera lense, visitors can view the changing world of the Adirondacks as untouched wilderness began to give way to industry in the late 19th-century. A pioneer environmentalist, Stoddard used his breath-taking images not only to document the landscapes and beauty of the region during his time, but also to raise awareness to ensure that that same natural beauty would be available to future generations.
	Frank Eckmair: The Landscape of Memory The Landscape of Memory explores a singular artistic vision through the Museum's extensive collection of works by Frank C. Eckmair. An internationally recognized printmaker, Eckmair had an intimate affinity for the quiet landscape of rural central New York. His subjects are its farm fields, stone walls, abandoned homes, and old barns.
	Berenice Abbott's A Changing New York: A Triumph of Public Art This exhibition displays 38 of reknown American photographer, Bernice Abbott's, principal images of the ever-changing urban landscape of New York City architecture and design throughout the 1930s. Highlighting the often extreme contrasts between the old and the new, Abbott's "Changing New York" through its exposure of life in a city struggling through the Depression, became one of the monumental photographic achievements in the 20th Century.
