June 26: Living Lands Kicks Off With

The Birth of the Electric Age

ironvilleSign image

As the threat of devastating climate change increases, the world is rapidly moving to a future where electromagnetic technology replaces fossil-fuel-based machines. Many people believe this technology is new. But in fact, the key discoveries that make an all-electric world possible are not new: they were made two hundred years ago.

And where were many of these scientific and technological seeds planted? About nine miles from the northern end of Lake George.


Come to our first Living Lands presentation of the season, Wednesday, June 26 at 5:30 p.m., to hear Pete Nelson tell the amazing and little-known story of how an Adirondack electromagnetic revolution changed the world – and set the stage for us to save it.


Living Lands programs are free, and held at the LGLC office in Bolton Landing, as well as virtually, each Wednesday evening through the summer.
