OLD FORGE — The Local Histories and Stories Series continues at 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11, with Sue Kiesel and her presentation on “The Healing Power of Photographing Outdoors” in the Adirondacks at the Old Forge Library. 

Kiesel is a lifelong lover of the Adirondacks, having been a season resident there her entire life. She began her current passion for photography 15 years ago.

“She enjoys, more than anything, sharing her captures. It is her greatest desire to sway others to appreciate the healing quality that nature offers all of us. If others catch the bug, perhaps they too will learn how fragile mother nature is and promote protecting it for the many generations to come,” library officials noted.

The Local History and Stories Series is a collaboration between the Old Forge Library and The Town of Webb Historical Association. All presentations are free.
