Eminent Saratogian Katrina Trask (1853-1922), visionary thinker and founder of Yaddo, left a complex and fascinating legacy from an inspiring life of triumph over devastating losses. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Katrina Trask Gateway Memorial in Congress Park on November 15, we listened to Katrina’s own words as she describes her challenges, and her solutions.

Presented by the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation and the Saratoga Springs History Museum, made possible through the generous support of Saratoga Arts and the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust.
