Matthew Bender Annual HAF Lecture

Join us on Sunday, October 19, for the highly anticipated annual Matthew Bender IV Lecture. Matthew Bender was a trailblazer for the Historic Albany Foundation (HAF), serving as a founding member and its first President. Each year, we gather to pay tribute to his remarkable contributions with an engaging reception and informative lecture. This year's event promises to be particularly enlightening, featuring a distinguished panel of historians and experts dedicated to the Erie Canal. As we commemorate 200 years of this vital waterway, attendees will have the opportunity to delve into discussions that highlight its historical significance and enduring impact on our region. We look forward to celebrating with you in honor of Matthew Bender’s legacy and the Erie Canal’s storied past.

Thank you to our sponsors.
