EXHIBITThe Rise & Fall of Farming in One American Town: Prattsville from 1800-2009. This exhibit focuses on diary farming in a small Catskills town in the 19th century as the result of the establishment of a 365 acre model farm (one acre for every day of the year) by town founder Zadock Pratt following his closure of the Prattsville tannery, and what happened to that industry so that only one farm exists in this rural town of 800 or so residents today, and that one precariously.
