The first of our scanning dates is quickly approaching – Saturday June 2, 10:00am – 4:00pm at the Adams Corners Schoolhouse. This first session is dedicated to Lake Peekskill – we want to see your pictures, your papers, hear your stories! We’ll also have a small set up of some of our collection that relates to LP. Stop by, meet some of your neighbors, and (maybe) learn something new about the history of this unique part of Putnam Valley!
On June 9th – Our American History: Putnam Valley and the surrounding area in the American Revolution with Putnam Valley Town Historian Dan Ricci! This one promises to be interesting, folks! You’ll definitely leave with a greater knowledge and understanding of what was going on here some 240+ years ago. Please note the time change for this one. We’ll be meeting at 2:00PM, which gives you plenty of time to visit the museum first to check our our exhibit on loan from the Putnam County Historian’s Office – The Control of The Highlands: Putnam County in the Revolution. Also on loan from Mr. Ricci’s private collection are a selection of Revolutionary War era artifacts and replica military items.
