SUMMARY:Marbletown Founders’ Day
DESCRIPTION:The first settlers to reside in what is now the Town of Marbletown are believed to have come from nearby Hurley in roughly the year 1669. Decommissioned British soldiers would build homesteads on the banks of the Rondout Creek\, whose name derives from the word fort or redoubt that was erected near its mouth at the Hudson River in nearby Kingston. The rich soil on these banks would become an important breadbasket for the growing colonial city of New York and its environs\, a short 100 mile float down the Hudson River. By 1703\, the Town of Marbletown received a land patent\, granted by Queen Anne of England to Colonel Henry Beekman\, Captain Thomas Garton and Captain Charles Broadhead on the 23rd of June of that year—which is the anniversary we now celebrate. The original document is on display as part of the permanent collection of the Ulster County Historical Society at the Bevier House Museum. By 1704\, a New York silversmith\, Jacob Boelen (1657-1729)\, was commissioned to design and render the Town stamp\, a replica of which is also on display at the Bevier House\, on loan from the Town of Marbletown. The original stamp is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Boelen captured the essence of Marbletown of the period in a simple rendering of deer in the upper register of the seal\, signifying the bounty of the nearby forests teaming with game. On the lower register of the seal the artist depicted sheaves of wheat\, symbolizing the bounty derived from the fertile soils that lined the Rondout Creek. With a telling motto\, “Be Just/To Trust\,” which captured both the simplicity and poignancy of the area’s Dutch cultural inheritance\, the Town of Marbletown was born. \nThis year’s event continues the celebration and will feature a dazzling display of local art\, history and locally produced wares that are hallmarks the Rondout Valley. The event will benefit in part the Stone Ridge Library: \n• The artwork is curated by Sevan Melikyan\, director of the Wired Gallery in High Falls. The display of painting\, sculpture and photography will be sold during the event with over 30 artists in a variety of media participating;\n• A 10:30 am lecture\, given by Dr. William Rhoads\, on the historic architecture of Marbletown\, and a 2:00 pm lecture\, given by the Town’s historian\, Gail Many\, on the history of Marbletown. The lectures are sponsored by the Marbletown Historical Preservation Commission;\n• A photography display of some of the permanent collection of the Ulster County Historical Society’s collection by local photographer Jim Smith will be on display and for sale at the Bevier House;\n• The Rondout Valley Growers Association will provide a further historical link to farming in the area that once made the Valley the breadbasket of an emerging nation in the late 18th century. Local produce will be for sale during the day;\n• The Ulster County Historical Society staff will conduct guided tours of the 17th century Bevier House;\n• The Stone Ridge Library will be staging a children’s event TBA;\n• Dianne Hart\, a local floral designer will display her award winning floral displays;\n• Other displaying participants TBA. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Members Only Garden Party
DESCRIPTION:Join trustees\, our museum director and volunteers for a Sunday afternoon party at Bevier House where we will gather to enjoy refreshments and conversation in a delightful period garden setting. \nAt 3:30 p.m. Sanford Levy of Jenkinstown Antiques will give a presentation on Hudson Valley artist Julia Dillon (1834-1919)\, known for her floral still-lifes\, and her lifetime association with two other significant Kingston artists\, her cousin Jervis McEntee (1828-1891) and their friend Joseph Tubby (1821-1896). \nMr. Levy’s talk gives a perspective not only Julia and her cousin’s lives as members of a successful and long established Hudson Valley family\, but also the environment in which they were to flourish\, the Rondout of the mid-nineteenth century where authors\, social reformers\, spiritualists\, artists\, and people from all walks of life crossed paths. \n  \nJulia\, like many women artists of the period\, concentrated on still-life paintings.  Julia lived and kept a studio in New York City (on East 10th Street) during the 1870’s and 80’s but\, in 1893 returned to Kingston. The three friends often spent time together in the Rondout neighborhood and New York City\, frequenting operas and spending hours in the studio comparing painting influences. Julia\, Jervis and Joseph remained friends all their lives. \nSanford Levy\, who opened his first New Paltz antique shop in 1974 is the owner of Jenkinstown Antiques\, located in the 1792 ‘Hallock House’\, a building which was relocated to the property from Orange County in the 1980s. He is an expert on antiques from the Hudson Valley and is a well-known dealer in regional artists such as D.F. Hasbrouck\, T. B. Pope\, Michael Kelly\, Joseph Tubby\, and Julia Dillon. Levy also specializes in furniture from the Valley\, including kasten and country pieces in original surfaces. \nThis event is free to UCHS members and their guests.

SUMMARY:“Objects and Memory”
DESCRIPTION:  \nA presentation about the acclaimed documentary “Objects and Memory\,” will be given by its producer-director\, Jonathan Fein. The documentary examines how humans preserve the past through the accumulation\, cataloguing and display of physical things. The film was screened on PBS to commemorate the seventh and tenth anniversaries of 9/11. \n“The film … explores the otherwise ordinary things in our homes and museums that mean the most to us because of what they represent\, and about how we respond to momentous events while they are happening\,” explained producer-director Fein. \nFor 13 years\, Fein has done research for his film\, as well as for an upcoming book. The themes probed by the documentary include: how we navigate through a physical world\, how things get into museums\, how we recognize history as it is happening\, why we make and collect art\, how we make sense of turbulent times\, how we memorialize the past\, what fundamental human qualities drive our responses. \n“Objects and Memory” has been screened across the United States\, complemented by a lecture-workshop by the filmmaker in venues that include the University of Massachusetts\, the New-York Historical Society\, Columbia University\, the University of Maryland\, the School of Visual Arts\, the University of Rochester\, Rutgers University\, the Philbrook Museum\, Indiana University\, the University of Central Oklahoma\, the Brooklyn Museum\, St. John’s University\, and the Carnegie Institution. \nThe film was honored with the 2010 American Association for State and Local History Award of Merit and was the opening event of the 2012 Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums annual conference. \nFor more information about the film\, please visit www.objectsandmemory.org. \nFree admission\, made possible through NY Council for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:FORGOTTEN: THE COVERED BRIDGES OF THE MID-HUDSON REGION
DESCRIPTION:More than half of the 71 covered bridges known to have been built in the four-county Mid-Hudson Region were in Ulster County (Ulster 38; Sullivan 19; Orange 9; and Dutchess 5). Today\, of the nine still standing in the region\, five are in Ulster County and four in Sullivan County. \nCovered bridges\, those still standing and ones that have been lost and largely forgotten\, all collectively tell a rich story of the region’s development. Each covered bridge\, whether lost or still present\, played important roles as utilitarian crossings that connected rural areas with nascent villages and towns\, critical links in shaping the economic and social development of nineteenth century America. \nWhile highlighting what is known about the covered bridges in Ulster County\, this illustrated talk will situate those in the Mid-Hudson’s region within the broader narrative of America’s nineteenth century technological innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. This was a time when great transformative projects\, including canal networks\, covered and uncovered bridges\, as well as railroads\, were envisaged and constructed thus contributing to ushering in of the prosperity of “the American century” that followed. \nRon Knapp is SUNY Distinguished Professor Emeritus\, State University of New York at New Paltz. He is the author of over 20 books\, including books on Chinese architecture\, culture\, and the first book to introduce China’s remarkable covered bridges to the West. In 2014\, with co-author Terry E. Miller\, he published America’s Covered Bridges: Practical Crossings\, Nostalgic Icons. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing at the lecture.
