Tales from the Collection: Mary Murphy, Morely the Toothless Mastadon

Coordinated by the Story Circle at Proctors, local storytellers selected artifacts from the Albany Institute of History & Art’s collection to inspire their writing process; ultimately creating stories that range from fairy tales and folklore to personal stories. Listen in to hear this unique story inspired by "Storm King on the Hudson," by Homer Dodge Martin (1836 - 1897).
