Troutbeck Symposium

A student-led historical educational forum, the Troutbeck Symposium returns for its second year and features three days of events and discussions. Along with distinguished guests, including Dr. Hassan Kwame Jeffries, students from 13 public and private schools in the region will meet and discuss their year-long research projects uncovering under-told histories of BIPOC communities.

Inspired by the Amenia Conferences of 1916 and 1933 — two critical early meetings of the NAACP that took place at Troutbeck and were hosted by former owners and activists Joel and Amy Spingarn — the Troutbeck Symposium and events like it follow in Troutbeck's unique history as a gathering place for great minds — including John Burroughs, Thurgood Marshall, Sinclair Lewis, Lewis Mumford, Teddy Roosevelt, Zora Neale Hurston and W.E.B. Du Bois.
