The Maniac! - a Social Movement Finds a Singer and a Song

Join us at the Ellwanger Estate for a history talk with Gerry Szymanski.

When musician Henry Russell moved here, Rochester was a new city, full of social problems. He wrote and sang songs fighting slavery, drunkenness, and mental illness which became well-known throughout the U.S.A.
