SUMMARY:Vintage Base Ball Game
DESCRIPTION:Who better than the Ulster County Historical Society to take you out to the ballgame and back in time? \nOn Saturday\, August 23 at 1 p.m.\, the Ulster County Historical Society will sponsor the third annual vintage baseball game at Tongore Park\, also known as Marbletown Town Park\, at 350 Tongore Road\, Stone Ridge. \nStep back in time and see how base ball was played 150 years ago by the Kingston Guards. The game is sponsored by the Ulster County Historical Society\, whose mission is to make local history come alive. \nThis vintage base ball game features rules from the 1800s\, as was a common occurrence for many years between teams from neighboring farm communities\, villages\, and cities all over the United States. The uniforms and rules reflect the historical rules of the grand old game. Among the novel rules for fans to enjoy: \n-Foul balls do not count as strikes.\n-No gloves worn by fielders.\n-If a pitch is too close to call\, the umpire can rule “no call” and it’s a do-over.\n-If a batter is hit by a pitch\, it just counts as a ball and the at-bat continues.\n-Fielders can catch a fly ball on one hop for an out (it’s tougher than it sounds). \nCome one\, come all for old-time family fun at the old ball game!

SUMMARY:Capturing a Sense of Place
DESCRIPTION:Behind every artifact there is a human story that is essential for an accurate interpretation of its significance.  Diaries\, family correspondence\, newspaper accounts\, and previous historical research on an artifact’s period and place of origin help historians to understand the context behind its purpose and impact. The recent popularity of memoir adds yet another highly personal source of information to the mix.  Join us for a conversation and workshop with author and local historian\, Bruce Whistance\, about the value of memoir in building a more nuanced view of our moment in time for the historical record.  \nAbout the speaker:\nBruce Whistance has lived in Ulster County since 1954 in the towns of Hurley\, Ulster\, and Rosendale and has a Master of Science in Computer Science from Union College.  He has had a diverse employment background including jobs as a farm worker\, filling station attendant\, restaurant waiter\, factory worker\, teaching assistant\, electronic engineer\, and IBM programming manager.  Working with the family antiques business he developed a keen sense of history and has served on the Historic Preservation Commission in the Town of Hurley.  He has partnered with his wife Gail in creating exhibitions at the Hurley Heritage Society Museum.

SUMMARY:"In Defiance - Runaways from Slavery in New York's Hudson River Valley 1735 - 1831" - Author Book Talk

SUMMARY:ELVERHOJ: THE ARTS AND CRAFTS COLONY AT MILTON-ON-HUDSON
DESCRIPTION:Co-authors William B. Rhoads and Leslie Melvin present their new publication Elverhoj: the Arts and Crafts Colony at Milton-on-Hudson.   \nBooks will be available for purchase at this event. \nElverhoj (Danish for “hill of the fairies\,” pronounced “El-ver-hoy”) was an Arts and Crafts colony established in Milton on the picturesque west shore of the Hudson River in 1912 by Danish American artists and craftsmen\, led by Anders Andersen. Little known today\, the colony achieved a national reputation before World War I\, earning a gold medal at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. That same year a favorable write-up in Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman magazine with photos of the rustic studios added to the colony’s growing fame. Elverhoj was especially regarded for its jewelry and metalwork\, but the works of painter-craftsman James Scott and etcher Ralph Pearson added to its renown\, as did a fruitful connection with Vassar College\, strengthened by the efforts of colony members Bessie and Henrietta Scott\, sisters talented in textile arts. \nAs part of the William Morris–inspired Arts and Crafts movement\, Elverhoj experienced a decline in the 1920s\, partially offset by the opening of a theatre with links to Broadway and the addition of a Moorish-style dining terrace. Still\, the Depression dealt a fatal blow\, despite Andersen’s enlisting the help of Eleanor Roosevelt. The property was acquired in 1935\, by followers of the charismatic Black leader Father Divine\, becoming one of his most popular “heavens.” Andersen\, always the colony’s central figure\, died in obscurity in 1944. Many of the items related to Elverhoj in the UCHS exhibition stem from an archive kept by Andersen. \nUCHS Members are free to attend\, non-members $15 \nPrinted items made by Elverhoj artists

SUMMARY:The History of Byrdcliffe Art Colony with Henry T. Ford
DESCRIPTION:Whitehead House at Byrdcliffe \n \nHenry T Ford\, Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild Board Historian\, and Director Emeritus\, will present a talk on the historic Byrdcliffe Art Colony. Mr. Ford will give a Powerpoint presentation discussing the social and creative impact of the Arts & Crafts Colony\, founded by Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead and his wife Jane Byrd McCall\, Bolton Brown\, and Hervey White\, in 1902. \nEnglishman Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead (1854-1929)\, founder of Byrdcliffe\, came under the influence of art critique John Ruskin (1819-1900) while attending Oxford University.  Ruskin exposed him to the concept of an “ideal community\,” where useful and well made products could be created by artists to bring beauty to everyday life. Whitehead moved to America in 1892 and there met Jane Byrd McCall (1858-1955)\, who would become his wife. While working at Jane Addams’ Hull House\, a center for social reform in Chicago\, they befriended Hervey White (1866-1944)\, who was looking to begin an artist’s community. Bolton Brown (1864-1936)\, founder of the arts department at Stanford University in California\, and a painter\, became acquainted with the two men. In 1902 they hired him to return to his native state of New York to search for a suitable site to establish an art colony. While climbing to the top of Overlook Mountain in northern Ulster County\, Brown became enchanted with the natural scenery of the valley below him\, which included the hamlet of Woodstock. \nWhitehead approved and purchased 1\,200 acres of land for an art colony that he would call “Byrdcliffe” (combining parts of his name with those of his wife’s). The construction of buildings to be used as artist residences and studios began shortly thereafter. Workshops for furniture-making\, metalwork\, pottery\, and weaving\, along with a photography studio\, were all included in the building scheme. The idea was that the colony would sustain itself through the sale of hand-made furniture while creating an environment that would inspire resident artists. Sadly\, furniture production proved unsuccessful because Whitehead insisted upon a hand-made product that rejected the use of machinery\, making the pieces too expensive. Instead\, the colony turned to ceramics and other decorative arts as a means to support itself. Today\, Woodstock village continues to be a mecca for artists. Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild\, WAA & Museum and Maverick Concerts\, Inc.\, still exist at their original sites. \nReservations suggested \nMembers of UCHS free \nGeneral Public $15
