Event Details
Join the Strathmore Speakers Series for an
evening with historian Dennis Connors, as he recounts the twisted tale,
stretching over three centuries, of how our community treasured,
remembered, and ultimately lost a unique link to its past: the Onondaga
Arsenal.
Dennis Connors has worked in historical
agencies since 1972 and as curator of history at the Onondaga Historical
Association in Syracuse, New York from 1999 until his retirement in
2018. He was employed originally by the Association from 1992 to 1999 as
its Executive Director. Previous to that, he was the Supervisor of
Historic Resources for Onondaga County Parks for 14 years, overseeing
three historic properties. He also served as executive director for the
Landmarks Association of Central New York for three years. He recently
was a contributing author for the New York State Encyclopedia Project
and has authored and edited six books on Syracuse area history, the most
recent being Syracuse’s Grand Hotel: A History, published in 2017. Mr.
Connors has a history degree from the State University of NY at Buffalo
with a concentration in museum studies.
