Preservation Month Speakers: Wayne & Karen Marshfield present “Spanning New York State”

Each year Lorenzo hosts speakers in honor of National Historic Preservation month.

On Saturday, May 31 at 1:00PM Wayne & Karen Marshfield will present Spanning New York State, a discussion of our state’s thirty-four remaining covered bridges. The Marshfields will take us on a fascinating journey from the oldest in the country, Hyde Hall Covered Bridge built in 1825 in Cooperstown, to the newest in the state, Cannon Covered Bridge, built in 2022 in Wyoming County, Western New York.

Karen is the Pastor of Hobart Presbyterian Church, editor and secretary of the New York State Covered Bridge Society, and Treasurer of Delaware County Senior Council. She is retired from Delaware County Office of the Aging.

Wayne is Supervisor of the Town of Hamden, Legislator for Delaware County, President of the NYS Covered Bridge Society, and Treasurer of Delaware Opportunities. He is a 50-year retiree from Delaware County Electric Cooperative. The couple have three children and eight grandchildren, and happily make their home in Hamden, New York.


Admission is free for this event.
