In 1855, additional settlements along the rail line became the town of Morrisania, with its political center in the original 1840 village.

This annual exhibition presents works by young artists who have completed a preparatory program for careers as professionals. Most look as if they could use a few more years of seasoning, but a handful appear to be artists to keep an eye on.
