During the early 19th century, western New Yorkers were gripped by waves of religious revivalism as part of the Second Great Awakening. New groups, established churches, and utopian experiments all vied for converts. Mr. Wisbey’s talk will examine these various groups – Shakers, Millerites, Mormons, Spiritualists and Evangelicals and the impact that they had on social change in our region.

Everyone is welcome and admission is free.
