Amsterdam Icons 2015
Thank you to everyone that purchased Amsterdam Icons 2015. The reception was overwhelming and your interest and support are greatly appreciated. We sold our complete stock – but at last check there were still a few left at the Walter Elwood Museum gift shop. But …
Once they’re gone, they’re history.
The Historic Amsterdam League is pleased to offer Amsterdam Icons 2015, the fourth in a series of annual calendars from HAL. Amsterdam Icons 2015 is a color and classic B&W 12 month wall size (11″ x 17″) calendar featuring monthly illustrations of Amsterdam area eateries of the past. The historic images selected to appear on the 2015 HAL calendar are iconic in their representation of Amsterdam, images which will evoke memories of good times and special occasions shared with family and friends. None of the icons in these pages remain as shown; some still exist with new names, some with new purpose, and some empty and abandoned; others survive only as fading memories. Accompanying each month’s picture is a brief paragraph providing relevant information and historical facts; the two-page centerfold contains a montage of historical newspaper ads for Amsterdam area eateries, past and present. Scattered throughout the monthly date listings, in addition to the usual holidays and observances, are important, entertaining, and often little known dates from local history – the Hurricana Farm fire, Amsterdam’s “Bridge Day”, the death of Stephen Sanford.

Calendars will be on sale at the above locations for $12.00 each while supplies last – that’s just $1.00 a month for a year long gastronomic tour of Amsterdam from the mid-20th Century, and enough trivia to win a friendly bet or two.
Calendars may also be purchased directly from HAL by mailing your order and payment to the Historic Amsterdam League, PO Box 132, Amsterdam, N.Y. 12010. Please E-mail first to confirm availability. If you are outside the area, just prefer to have your calendar mailed to you, or would like to send Amsterdam Icons 2015 as a gift, first-class postage and handling is an additional $2.50 per calendar ($14.50 total).
All proceeds from the sale of Amsterdam Icons 2015 will be used to support Historic Amsterdam League projects and local historic preservation efforts.
