On December 3 at 7:30pm please click here to join the Zoom presentation!

Presented by Dick Coller, a longtime member of the Town of Clinton Historical Society and trustee emeritus.

Dick will present an overview of how mankind has compensated for the uneven distribution of natural resources.

For example, coal, petroleum, iron ore and building materials are mainly concentrated in relatively remote locations and must be brought to central utilization locations. This has always been a huge expenditure of labor and material, whether by water or animal-driven transport or railroads.

The Holiday Potluck and Gift Auction previously scheduled for December 3 has been canceled.
