Take a journey through time with this illustrated talk exploring how Ulster County has evolved through a fascinating collection of historic maps from 1778 to 1957. From early land use and transportation routes to emerging towns and shifting boundaries, these maps reveal the county’s transformation over a century. Join former Ulster County Historical Society Board President Phil Ryan for an engaging presentation, with opportunities to ask questions and closely examine the featured maps after the talk.
