Gretchen Murray Sepik performed for the second time at the museum. Her first performance, a few years ago, as “Surly Sal” was very creative. This visit, actress-storyteller, Ms. Sepik performed as Susan B. Anthony the nineteenth century women’s rights leader who fought for suffrage, emancipation of slaves and promotion of temperance. The costuming and artistry was amazing. Bravo!

Seneca Museum hosted the opening exhibit of 25 local artists, presented by the Ludovico Sculpture Trail, displaying paintings of dresses worn during the “Declaration of Sentiments Era.”
Original dresses (costumes) housed by Seneca Falls, Waterloo & Geneva Historical Societies. Harp music was graciously played by Mayor Diana Smith and Trudy Moon; while our President of the Board, Bonnie Vaughn sang beautifully.

Rossbach & VanNorstrand performed at the museum for the second time. They performed their wonderful traditional American folk and old time country, as far back as the Civil War Era. We had about 80 visitors. The performers asked for requests from the audience and R & V had no trouble playing them all. The evening was a success. |

In Franklin's version, 37 bowls were mounted horizontally nested on an iron spindle. The whole spindle turned by means of a foot-operated treadle. The sound was produced by touching the rims of the bowls with moistened fingers.

| The Dady Brothers performed Irish Music at the museum to a crowd of about 80 people. John and Joe Dady, bring a unique variety of Celtic and American folk music to their performances. The Dady Brothers have been a major force on the music scene in western New York for over twenty years. From their home base in Rochester, New York, they have taken their musical talents to many diverse venues in the U.S., Canada, and Ireland. What a great way to end the month of March… with a little bit of St. Patrick’s Day. |
