The Curious Mind: Meet the Schuyler Sisters

Join the Albany Public Library for The Curious Mind, recurring monthly talks with local experts.

The "Schuyler Sisters" have been causing quite a stir in the Broadway musical Hamilton: An American Musical, but did you know that there were really five sisters? Or that their mother, Catharine, was an Albany leading lady long before Alexander Hamilton came on the scene? March is Women's History Month and we will be exploring the life and times of the Schuyler women.

Topics include:
- The history of the Schuyler women and their daily lives
- The impact they had in shaping their family's history
- Aspects of the lives of the women enslaved by the Schuylers

Experts from The Schuyler Mansion will be joining us to discuss what it was like growing up as a Schuyler.
