Author Michael Miller will join a panel from the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Erie Canal Museum to explore the fact and fiction behind his new book “High Bridge,” a work of historical fiction exploring the canal town of Fayetteville through the eyes of two of its most well-known residents: Grover Cleveland and Matilda Joslyn Gage. This is a free, hybrid event (there is a $10 suggested donation). You may register here: https://eriecanalmuseum.org/store/product/deeper-dive/

Michael Miller, author of High Bridge, grew up in a village in northern New Jersey that had only a single road passing through it. In that way, his hometown was very much like Fayetteville NY, the setting for the novel, High Bridge. He believes he has much in common with the book’s two protagonists – Grover Cleveland and Matilda Joslyn Gage.

Danielle S. Nagle, Ph.D., serves as Executive Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation in Fayetteville, NY.

Derrick Pratt is the Director of Education & Public Programming at the Erie Canal Museum.
