Stitched Together: A History of the Norwich Knitting Co and Walt Disney Long before Hollywood became a global merchandising empire, a small manufacturer in Norwich struck a deal that changed the entertainment industry forever. “Stitched Together” reveals the fascinating, untold history of how the Norwich Knitting Company partnered with a young, struggling Walt Disney to launch the world’s very first Mickey Mouse apparel. The author will share how an industrial pioneer kept his business afloat during the height of the Great Depression, bringing a pie-eyed cartoon icon straight from the silver screen into the fabric of American homes. Join us for an intriguing journey through the secret alliance that helped save a local workforce while birthing modern Disney merchandising. About the author/presenter: Christian Vischi graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English and communications from the State University of New York at Potsdam, with dual minors in jazz performance and French. Upon graduation, he was recruited to a locally owned newspaper with both daily and weekly publications. He quickly assumed the editor’s chair of the weekly Gazette and then transitioned to a regional editor position for a large daily paper in New York’s North Country. After two years he returned to Central New York, spending five years each in municipal government administration, in communications at the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church, and Clear Path for Veterans, a veterans’ services organization supporting service members across 33 counties in New York. After three years at a global, private, for-profit manufacturer of materials science, Vischi joined the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Colgate University as assistant director. He is the chairperson of the Campus Venture Initiative, a certifying body for student ventures to operate on-campus, and a member of the Colgate Hello steering committee, which strives to create a culture of welcome, access, community, and development for all employees. Vischi is a certified master gardener, USASBE Social Entrepreneurship certified, and a privately contracted graphic designer. Reserve here:

HistoryForge: Crowdsourcing Local HistoryAre you interested in local history and want to help preserve it? Come learn about HistoryForge, a community-sourced digital mapping project hosted by Binghamton University. Community volunteers transcribe census records on the website, which in turn get plotted onto an interactive, digital map. We have started with the 1910 census and have transcribed over 10,000 census records. We’re currently working on Binghamton’s Third Ward, though we hope in the future to incorporate Johnson City, Endicott, and other towns in Broome County. Our free transcription sessions are a great place to meet like-minded history enthusiasts, and food and drinks are provided. Anyone can learn how to do this as long as you have a computer, an internet connection, and the ability to read cursive (or an interest in learning how to do so!).Please make sure to bring your laptop with you to this event.If you have any questions reach out to the Project Coordinator, Mary Tuttle: [email protected] is FREE – no registration necessary.

From the West End to the Southern Tier – An Intimate One-Night Concert Not to Be Missed! International Recorder Virtuoso Jeffrey Wahl to Perform Exclusive Solo Recital at the Phelps Mansion Museum. He has led the United States Navy Choir in performance, headlined a concert at the Actor’s Church St. Paul’s in London’s West End, and performed a solo concert series at the Washington National Cathedral. He has premiered original compositions at the International Poe Festival and taught master classes across Germany, Canada, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Now, Jeffrey R. Wahl brings his international artistry home to the ballroom of the Phelps Mansion Museum in Binghamton, New York, for one night only. The Phelps Mansion Museum is proud to present Wahl in recital on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM, accompanied by celebrated pianist John Isenberg. The program spans four centuries of music—from the 17th-century variations of Jacob van Eyck to the jazz-infused crossover sounds of Claude Bolling—all performed in the intimate, Gilded Age acoustics of the Phelps ballroom, the specific setting these works were written for. “The recorder is often misunderstood as a simple classroom tool, but in the hands of a master, it is an instrument of astonishing range,” says Wahl. “This program was designed to take the listener on a journey from the 17th century to the present day. Performing this repertoire in a setting as historically rich as the Phelps Mansion allows the music to resonate in its intended atmosphere”. Highlights include Richard Harvey’s Concerto Incantato, showcasing multiple members of the recorder family from the piercing Sopranino to the haunting Tenor, and the formidable Sonata by Peter Hope. The evening concludes with high-energy jazz selections that bring an unexpected electricity to the historic space. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. Get your ticket now! Seating is limited due to the intimate nature of the ballroom.   About Jeffrey Wahl Jeffrey R.
