Explore the churches of the Genesee Valley with photographer Phyllis Kitt, the author of the recent publication God?s Country: Historic Churches and Chapels of the Genesee Valley. Ms. Kitt will share the story of how a few wrong turns on a back country road ultimately led her to produce this beautifully-photographed work featuring more than 100 churches throughout the nine-county area surrounding Rochester. Kitt?s book documents the architectural and historical background of a diverse selection of these buildings, including Geneva?s Trinity Episcopal Church, St. Stephen?s Catholic Church, the Presbyterian Church and the Baptist Church.
Phyllis Kitt studied photography at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York. When she is not taking pictures, she is advocating for libraries and tutoring in literacy. But she is usually taking pictures. Ms. Kitt will sign copies of In God?s Country following the program and the book will be available for purchase.
Parking for the program is on South Main Street or in the Trinity Episcopal Church lot. For more information about this program, call the Geneva Historical Society office at 315-789-5151.
