Special Screening: Exploring the 1000 Islands

Join us for a special screening of Exploring the 1000 Islands, a WPBS documentary that journeys through the rich and layered history of this iconic New York region. Discover the stories from the first explorers to the development of tourism and the construction of hundreds of luxury hotels eventually destroyed by fire or torn down, to the new millionaires who built gilded age mansions and castles on many of the islands. This film brings to life the natural beauty and cultural legacy of one of the state’s most storied destinations.
