By the early 1960s, the de-institutionalization movement presaged closure of the Craig Colony, and one consequence was the eventual use of those facilities for a new Groveland Correctional that opened in 1982. But even earlier, a 922-acre plot of that land--the Big Woods--was turned over to the NY Department of Environmental Conservation for management. Initially this took to form of access for deer hunters in 1972. Today, that agency still describes the land as offering "a rustic experience with a limited amount of development" This image draws from a portion of the 1972 USGS topographical map, with an approximate outline of the newly created Sonyea State Forest.

Title A name given to the resource New Deal Gallery Description An account of the resource This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. <a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection</a>. We're grateful to the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for access to their collection, which has been re-photographed and appears here at two resolutions: a cropped, web-friendly file size of around 1 MB; and a high-resolution file including the painting's frame. Items in this collection were created according to a consistent format: a short description of each painting in formal terms, followed by a biography of each artist. Where possible we have supplied hyperlinks relevant to their lives and to other examples of their art.

Title A name given to the resource Sun Worshipers Description An account of the resource Brilliant colors of red, white, green, and deep blues and purples stand out in this crown of flowers set against a monochrome backdrop. The flowers are supported via ceramic vase, as the flowers fawn out from the mouth of the vase; this whole arrangement supported by a small, light grey table that seems to blend the foreground into the background. The grey, monochromatic backdrop presents a calming effect as the eye is drawn to the bright flora. It is impossible to miss the South Western painted rooster that sits beside the vase, adding yet another element of character and culture to the piece. About the Author: Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Mary Monrad came from an artistic family. She studied at the Académie Julian with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Joseph_Benjamin-Constant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benjamin Constant</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Laurens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean-Paul Laurens</a>, and with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Abbott_McNeill_Whistler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Whistler</a>. In 1906 she married Walter Ufer, a fellow painter, while both were living in Chicago. Thereafter her life was a struggle due to family finances, his alcoholism-fueled anger, and gender norms that forced her into a role supporting her husband. In 1914 the two moved to Taos, NM, and became influential figures in its nascent artists colony. In order to make ends meet she gave art lectures across the country, becoming a sought-after speaker and promoting the work of Taos artists. She was teaching art classes for the WPA art classes in Minneapolis, MN when her husband died in 1936; moving to New York forced her from the New Mexico relief rolls, and in New York she had trouble securing support because she was over 65 years of age. It is the state’s good fortune that eventually Federal Art Project support was granted. 1 work at the <a href="http://www.harwoodmuseum.org/exhibitions/view/200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harwood Museum</a>. 11 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-23-folder-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAP</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Mills of Genesee Valley Description An account of the resource Before the commercial extraction of fossil fuels from the Oil Creek region of northern Pennsylvania, most mechanical work in the Genesee Valley was done by human and animal power, or some source ultimately derived from the sun: burning wood, wind power, or flowing water. The exception to this, of course, was coal--by the 1880s America's dominant source of energy. Due to the Genesee region's ample supply of wood and running water, along with the cost of shipping coal, it's quite common to find instances of various water mills in the area's history. They were adapted to a wide range of uses: cutting wood into timber and milling it into specialized shapes (lumber mill); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (grist mill); grinding wheat or other grains (flour mill); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (paper mill); fabricating metals (triphammer mill); powering industrial equipment (textile mill); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines. This collection gathers various documents concerning mills in the Genesee Valley. In addition to images and written texts, there is also an interactive map illustrating the density of their usage during the mid-nineteenth century. Still Image A static visual representation.
