SUMMARY:Ketchum's Philadelphia Smelter: How History Came to Life through a Painting
DESCRIPTION:Certainly\, the most consequential business in the early days 
 of the Wood River Valley was Ketchum's Philadelphia Smelter. Built in 
 1881\, the smelter led the way in innovation and prosperity and created the 
 conditions for a boom in population\, transportation\, and mechanization. 
 When the Wood River Museum was made aware of a painting of the smelter by 
 an antiques dealer on the East Coast\, the wheels were set in motion for 
 trying to extract all the information possible on the painting's origins 
 and to find out more about the operations of the smelter itself. \n\nTwo 
 local historians and researchers\, John Lundin and Jack Lane\, have 
 undertaken a deep dive into this research and painting. The painting is the 
 featured artwork for the 2026 Wagon Days poster\, and this lecture will 
 reveal the historical significance of the smelter itself during its heyday 
 and demise\, as well as the origins of the painting and how and where it 
 might have been created.\n\nRegistration requested to join us in person. To 
 watch live online (no registration needed) visit: 
 https://vimeo.com/event/6125774. A recording will be available to watch on 
 The Community Library's Event Archive.\n\nJohn "Jack" Lane was the director 
 of the Carnegie Museum of Art (1980-1986)\, the San Francisco Museum of 
 Modern Art (1987-1997)\, and the Dallas Museum of Art (1998-2008). His 
 family has been a mainstay of Ketchum since the 1910s. John W. Lundin is a 
 lawyer\, historian\, and author who splits his time between Seattle and Sun 
 Valley.  Arriving in the early 1880s\, his family was one of the first to 
 settle in the Wood River Valley and Shoshone. He is the author of numerous 
 magazine and journal articles and four award winning books.
