From 1872 until his death in 1892, landscape artist Capt. James Hope had an art gallery next to the gorge of Watkins Glen. A lesser known figure of the Hudson River School of landscape painters, Hope captured the beauty of the glen on his canvases and realized his life’s dream of supporting himself and his family with his landscape art. Tony Ingraham tells the first half of this story in this encore episode of Walk in the Park ( #130). Next episode (131) will complete the tale. Tony originally gave this illustrated presentation in February 2016 to an audience at the Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY.

“Four Centuries at Taughannock Falls” episode 69 of Walk in the Park, online and on Ithaca cable channel 13. Watch anytime, anywhere at https://walkinthepark.tv. Or watch on Ithaca channel 13 at the following times:

Sunday, July 20, at 9:30 a.m. & 5 p.m.

DURING THIS 100th ANNIVERSARY YEAR of the state park, join us on a journey for more than four hundred years of history at Taughannock Falls in Trumansburg, NY, ten miles north of Ithaca, in the Finger Lakes region. One of the highest waterfalls in the eastern United States, Taughannock is taller than Niagara and has been an attraction since before the Civil War.

In this encore episode (69) of Walk in the Park from 2014, narrator Tony Ingraham will take you from Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫʼ (Cayuga) and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) towns at Taughannock Falls, on the west shore of Cayuga Lake, to war with Lenape or Delaware Indians, to the Revolutionary War and the Sullivan Campaign invasion, to early settlers, steamboats, a railroad, tourist hotels, and finally to the creation of Taughannock Falls State Park.

The park has its own history, with Civilian Conservation Corps work, floods, park planning, construction, and expansion, summer concerts, and interpretive exhibits. Join us on this journey through time at a singularly scenic location in New York’s beautiful Finger Lakes region.
