The event will be streamed live via USTREAM on the Internet via the Dispatch's Media Lab located at the Oneida Dispatch's main office in Oneida, and will feature not only a lecture on the “Colonial Past if the Mohawk Valley”, but videos of the different sites filmed by Mary’s production company History Star Productions.
