POTSDAM -- Author Caperton Tissot will present a slide show based on her recently published book, "Adirondack Ice: A Cultural and Natural History," at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 12, followed by discussion and a book signing, at The Potsdam Public Museum.

Ice has had a substantial influence on the course of Adirondack history. Caperton, using slides and stories, will discuss how ice has helped determine the region’s economic, cultural and natural history. From ice industries to transportation, recreation to accidents, all have played a major role in the North Country.

The museum is sponsoring this free event and welcomes everyone.

The museum, in the Civic Center at 2 Park St., is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 265-6910 or visit www.PotsdamPublicMuseum.org.
