COVENTRYVILLE – All are invited to attend a program organized by the Coventry Town Museum featuring well-respected local gemologist Joseph VanSteenburg on Tuesday, June 27 at 6:30 p.m.

Those who are native to the Chenango region of New York, who are proud of the area's natural beauty, and who are interested in how natural resources have lifted the history and economy of the area are called to attend Mr. VanSteenburg's presentation in the Community Meeting Room of the Coventryville Congregational Church.

VanSteenburg's presentation is said to include an exhibition of photographs, maps, and documents from his gemology expeditions, field trips, and camping trips –– as well as examples of the fascinating work done by gemologists from this area of NYS.

The presentation is also said to include a “pop-up museum” display wall of polished and unpolished minerals, stones, gems, fossilized material, basic amateur field gemologist's tools, and booklets filled with useful, relevant information.
