A nationally-renowned President Theodore Roosevelt impersonator will visit the Saratoga & North Creek Railway on Saturday, May 19 at 2 p.m.

Impersonator Joe Wiegand will visit the railway and perform an event that will be free and open to the public. Wiegand will portray President Roosevelt on the platform of the railway’s North Creek depot. The railway is the same station where the president boarded a train to becoming the 26th president of the United States following the assassination of President McKinley in 1901.

“Saratoga & North Creek Railway is thrilled to host Joe Wiegand’s outstanding reprisal of such a historic and beloved figure in our nation’s history,” said Saratoga & North Creek Railway General Manager Steve Torrico in a statement. “Wiegand’s depth of knowledge about the personal anecdotes in Roosevelt's life will certainly make the audience feel as though they are truly in the presence of Teddy himself.”

The home of the Saratoga County Historical Society, Brookside, has announced the opening of the “Discovering Lake Desolation” exhibit by local artists Nancy McGrath. The event will take place on Friday, May 4.

McGrath is a plein aire artist and moved to Rock City Falls four years ago. According to a statement, as she started painting McGrath also began to see the strong industrial history of the community. The new exhibit will concentrate on the history of Lake Desolation and Kayderosseras Mountain.

The opening will happen from 5 to 8 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available and the exhibition will remain on display during normal hours until Friday, July 27.
