SUMMARY:History talk with: Steve Skye on Finchville and Mount Hope September 11th at 7PM
DESCRIPTION:New York\, 1875\, Mount Hope\, Otisville\, Orange County\nWed. Sept. 11\, 7:00 PM; Steve Skye: Finchville\, Mount Hope \nAt the southern border of Orange County’s Town of Mount Hope is the small hamlet of Finchville. Come hear Stephen Skye\, historian of the Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation\, tell how two boys born in the hamlet played important roles in American history. In 1779 James Finch fed the American militia breakfast when they passed by his Mount Hope farm on the way to Minisink Ford. Though the Americans were defeated in the battle that ensued\, their presence helped convince the British that the American troops would not be easily overcome. About half a century later in 1836\, Coe F. Young who had been born in Mount Hope would make his way to the D&H Canal. By 1864 he had been appointed the canal’s general superintendent and with the company’s president\, Thomas Dickson began transforming the D&H into a railroad.

SUMMARY:History Talk with: Martha Capwell Fox: The Lehigh Navigation August 14th at 7PM
DESCRIPTION:Wed. Aug. 14\, 7:00 PM; Martha Capwell Fox: The Lehigh Navigation\nA History talk with Martha Capwell Fox the museum and archives coordinator for the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor will do a talk about the Lehigh Navigation.\nCome join us in examining the great rival to the Delaware and Hudson Canal… the Lehigh Navigation. The Lehigh was built a few years before the completion of the D&H and carried a significant amount of anthracite to tide-water: the Hudson and the Delaware. Comparing the engineering of the Lehigh to the innovations of the D&H will provide us with insights pertaining to each canal. The D&H and Lehigh were rivals and provide us with differing business models. For example the Lehigh smelted iron ore whilst the D&H never became involved in that line of business. \nThe Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company was a prominent coal mining and shipping company first established in 1820 with the merger of the Lehigh Coal Mining Company and the Lehigh Navigation Company\, both of which operated in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania beginning in 1818. The Company owned and operated an extensive system of coal mines in Pennsylvania’s Carbon and Schuylkill Counties\, two canals\, and several railroads and railways. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company is credited with shaping the course of the American industrial revolution in Pennsylvania\, as it contributed to innovation in transportation\, manufacturing\, and use of natural resources. \nThis History Talk will be held on Wednesday\, August 14th 2019 at 7 PM at the D&H Canal Park Visitor’s Center at 58 Hoag Road (just off route 209) in Cuddebackville\, NY 12729. It is a benefit for The Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation and lite refreshments will be served. A donation of $5 for Members and $7 for Non-Members is suggested.\nFor more information about the museum\, its mission to preserve local history or any events\, call (854) 754-8870\, email at nvam@frontiernet.net or visit our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Neversink-Valley-Museum-of-History-Innovation.\nPhoto: The Lehigh Coal Co.’s open-pit Summit Hill mine on Mauch Chunk Mountain.

SUMMARY:History talk with Steve Skye on "LAKE AWOSTING: A UNIQUE D&H RESERVOIR"
DESCRIPTION:1932 Post Card of Lake Awosting in Minnewaska\, NY \nCUDDEBACKVILLE\, NY: The Neversink Valley Museum of History & Innovation has engaged Museum Historian Steve Skye for its History Talk Lecture Series on Wednesday\, July 10\, 2019\, at 7:00 pm when he will be speaking about “Lake Awosting: A Unique D&H Reservoir” \nLake Awosting is one of 6 lakes on top of the Shawangunk ridge called the Sky Lakes. Located in Ulster County\, NY Minnewaska State Park Preserve these lakes are situated on the dramatic Shawangunk Mountain ridge\, which rises more than 2\,000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by rugged\, rocky terrain. Four of the five sky lakes on the Shawangunk Ridge lie within the preserve: Lake Minnewaska\, Lake Awosting\, Mud Pond (also known as Lake Haseco)\, and Lake Maratanza; Mohonk Lake\, is on the property of the Mohonk Mountain House to the north of Minnewaska. \nLake Awosting is roughly three times as large as Lake Minnewaska\, with a length of about one and eighth miles (1.8 km) and a maximum width of about one-quarter mile (0.4 km) mile. They are called Sky Lakes because the water they contain falls from the sky as rainwater. Consequently\, these lakes are all considered to be acidic from acid-rain from air pollution caused by coal-fired industries to the west of us. Lake Awosting pH has been an acidic 4.5 for a long time according to the USGS reports. \nMinnewaska was originally built as a resort by Alfred Smiley in the 1870s\, complete with two hotels and many amenities. However\, Minnewaska was also designed to be a nature preserve. Its carriage roads and trails offered visitors the chance to enjoy and appreciate nature\, setting the stage for its current incarnation as New York’s largest state Park Preserve at 22\,000 acres. \nThe D&H canal relied heavily on the system of manmade lakes and feeders to support a constant flow of water into the Canal to maintain the depth of the water from between 4 and 6 feet throughout its years of operation. The Summit level reservoirs all drained via the Canal into the Delaware River watershed\, Lake Awosting drains via the Rondout River\, part of the Hudson River watershed. The Awosting is also unique in that it is one of the last D&H reservoirs put into place in 1870. Join the folks at the Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation on July 10th at 7:00 to learn about the unique features of the D&H Canal’s Awosting Reservoir. \nThis History Talk will be presented at the D&H Canal Park Visitor’s Center at 58 Hoag Road (just off route 209) in Cuddebackville\, NY 12729. It is a benefit for The Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation and lite refreshments will be served. A donation of $5 for Members and $7 for Non-Members is suggested. \n                  For more information about the museum\, its mission to preserve local history or any events\, call (854) 754-8870\, email at nvam@frontiernet.net or visit our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Neversink-Valley-Museum-of-History-Innovation. \n \nSteven Skye: Museum Historian

SUMMARY:History Talk: Frank Salvati June 12th at 7PM "Joseph Brant\, The Iroquois\, and The Revolutionary War"
DESCRIPTION:The Neversink Valley Museum of History & Innovation is happy to have back the local historian Frank Salvati for our History Talk Lecture Series on Wednesday June 12\, 2019 at 7:00 pm when Frank will be speaking about “JOSEPH BRANT\, The IROQUOIS\, and the REVOLUTIONARY WAR”\n \nIncident in Cherry Valley – the fate of Jane Wells / from the original picture by Alonzo Chappel (1828-1887); Thomas Phillibrown\, engraver. Jane Wells is pleading for her life\, and a man attempts to protect her from an Indian who is about to kill her. House behind them is being burned by Loyalists and Indians led by Major Walter Butler and Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant\, Cherry Valley\, New York. Published: N.Y. : Martin\, Johnson & Co. publishers\, c1856\nFrank says “Many people have false notions of Brent’s role in the Iroquois Confederacy\, and his association with the British during the Revolutionary War.” Joseph Brant (March 1743 – November 24\, 1807; Mohawk name: Thayendanegea) was a well-known Mohawk on both sides of the Atlantic\, and a native New Yorker who was a military and political leader closely associated with Great Britain during and after the American Revolution. \nWhile the war was being waged in pitched battles in the chief colonies\, British and Indian forces fought a guerrilla war in the west\, and many villages were raided. The fighting was fierce in the Mohawk Valley of New York\, and the frontier was in an almost constant state of terror. \nIt was cold\, foggy and snowy in Cherry Valley\, New York\, that morning in history\, November 11\, 1778\, when British Loyalists and their Mohawk and Seneca Indian allies attacked a village and fort east of Cooperstown near Lake Otsego in New York State during the American Revolutionary War\, killing scores of soldiers and civilians in the Cherry Valley Massacre. \nIn his History Talk\, Frank “will correct the misconceptions associated with Brant and show what role the Six Nations played in the Revolutionary War\, particularly the Wyoming Valley and the infamous Cherry Valley Massacre.” \nFrank Salvati is a resident of Port Jervis\, New York.  He is a passionate student of the Indian wars\, with a particular interest in the North Eastern United States.  He is a popular speaker on the French and Indian Wars\, the American Revolution and the War of 1812. \nSo please join us for an interesting evening of Local History and Revolutionary War Stories. This History Talk will be held on Wednesday\, June 12th 2019 at 7 PM at the D&H Canal Park Visitor’s Center at 58 Hoag Road (just off route 209) in Cuddebackville\, NY 12729.

SUMMARY:HISTORY TALK: WOMEN IN THE CIVIL WAR April 13th at 2PM
DESCRIPTION:The Neversink Valley Museum is opening its new 2019 Season of History Talks on the afternoon of April 13th with local historian and civil war re-enactor Yvonne Bigney who will take her audience on what she calls “a journey into the other side of the Civil War” – the feminine side in a History Talk about “Women in the Civil War”\nWe hear much about the generals and battles of the War Between the States\, but not very much about the women who nursed the wounded and dying on the battlefields\, risked their lives on secret missions\, fought right alongside the men\, or ran their family farms and raised their children while their menfolk were away.\nThe audience will meet soldiers such as Kady Brownell\, who carried regimental flags into battle\, and nurses like Mary Anne “Mother” Bickerdyke\, who was admired by General Sherman for her work on behalf of his disabled soldiers. “Mother” had to fight with the doctors to get his solider’s the best of care but never with Sherman or Grant! “She outranks me\,” the famous Union general wryly said of her when his subordinates complained about her dictatorial methods.\nThe elegant Rose Greenhow used her charm and social connections to work for the Confederacy as a spy.\nMary A. Livermore\, an abolitionist\, and activist with the U.S. Sanitary Commission was one of many women\, like Clara Barton and Dorothea Dix\, who introduced modern concepts of medical treatment\, hygiene\, and compassion to a world where appalling casualty rates among combatants were considered acceptable.\nYvonne Bigney has been a Civil War re-enactor with the 124th New York State Volunteers and the 15th New York State Volunteer Cavalry. A popular lecturer for more than 25 years\, she will cover many other notable women of the period\, some famous and some not. \nThis History Talk will be held Saturday\, April 13\, 2019\, at 2:00 PM at the D & H Canal Park Visitor’s Center\, 58 Hoag Road\, (just off Route 209) Cuddebackville\, NY. Suggested donation is $5.00 for members and $7.00 for non-members.

SUMMARY:HISTORY TALK with Bob Barth on the " The Morris Canal"
DESCRIPTION:NEVERSINK VALLEY MUSEUM OF HISTORY & INNOVATION PRESENTS: HISTORY TALK\nwith Bob Barth on the ” The Morris Canal”\n\nNeversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation presents the fifth installment of its History Lecture Series on Wednesday\, August 8\, 2018\, at 7:00 pm when Bob Barth will speak about The Morris Canal at the D&H Canal Park Visitors’ Center\, 58 Hoag Road (just off Route 209 in Cuddebackville\, NY). Light refreshments will be served. \nFrom the NJ Canal Society’s Website:\nThe Morris Canal was the brainchild of Morristown businessman George Macculloch\, who envisioned a commerce route that could surmount North Jersey’s rugged terrain to ship coal\, iron ore\, farm produce and other products across the state. To conquer an unprecedented 1\,674-foot change in elevation – 760 feet from the Delaware River at Phillipsburg up to Lake Hopatcong\, the summit level\, and 914 feet back down to tidewater at Newark Bay – the Morris Canal used a series of locks and a new innovation\, the inclined plane. Operated from 1831 to 1924\, the Morris Canal was considered an engineering marvel of its time\, but\, by the end of its life\, it had been surpassed by railroads as a shipping route. \nAlthough employed on a smaller scale on English canals\, the inclined plane was adapted for the Morris Canal and used to conquer changes of elevation anywhere from 35 feet to 100 feet. The canal boats were floated onto a cradle car\, which was pulled out of the water\, then up or down on iron rails to the next section of canal. Those iron rails were supported by heavy stone sleepers\, which on several of the planes can still be seen\, often with a groove worn into them by the thick cable that raised and lowered the cradle car. \n \nThis History Talk will be held Wednesday\, August 8\, 2018\, at 7:00 PM at the D & H Canal Park Visitor’s Center\, 58 Hoag Road\, (just off Route 209) Cuddebackville\, NY. Suggested donation is $5.00 for members and $7.00 for non-members.

DESCRIPTION:NEVERSINK VALLEY MUSEUM OF HISTORY & INNOVATION PRESENTS: HISTORY TALK WITH MUSEUM HISTORIAN STEVE SKYE “PALATINE GERMANS AND FRENCH HUGUENOTS”\n\nThe Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation presents the fourth installment of its History Lecture Series on Wednesday\, July 12\, 2018 at 7:00 pm when its historian will speak about “Palatines and Huguenots” at the D&H Canal Park Visitors’ Center\, 58 Hoag Road (just off Route 209 in Cuddebackville\, NY). Light refreshments will be served. \nSteve Skye\, historian of the Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation\, will discuss the hardy Palatine Germans who emigrated from the Rhine Valley in Germany to the British colonies of the Hudson Valley. He will also discuss their religious kinsfolk\, the French Huguenots of eastern France. Both communities suffered the depredations of 17th-century warfare and the starvation of crop failures and left the Old World for the New. \nThe Protestants of mid-Europe occupied a 200 mile stretch of land from mid-Switzerland to Belgium with the French border running down the middle. They were a diverse group including German-speaking Swiss\, Huguenots and Palatines as well as Dutch-speaking Flemings and French-speaking Walloons from Belgium. In America\, the Palatines became amalgamated with other German-speaking groups to become the people we call today “Pennsylvania Dutch”. The middle-class craftsmen of the Huguenot diaspora to this day are proud of their 16th-century background. \nCome to learn about how the Palatines finally found a patron in Queen Anne of Great Britain and how she enabled them to cross the ocean and settle in her New York colony. In fact\, the settlement of Newburgh was established by the Palatines. Many of these colonists eventually left New York to join other Palatines in Pennsylvania and the upper Midwest. You will also get an appreciation of how the Huguenots came to found many of early America’s industries including\, glass and silk making and how this literate and well-educated group played an important role in the American Revolution. \nSteve Skye is a resident of Mount Hope\, New York. He is an enthusiastic student of 19th century American history with a particular interest in the North Eastern United States. He is especially interested in the evolution of an American agrarian society into an industrial giant. \nThis History Talk will be held July 12\, 2018\, at 7:00 PM at the D & H Canal Park Visitor’s Center\, 58 Hoag Road\, (just off Route 209) Cuddebackville\, NY. Suggested donation is $5.00 for members and $7.00 for non-members. Light refreshments will be served                \nThe Neversink Valley Museum is open Sundays from noon until 4:00 pm through October 28 and by appointment.

SUMMARY:History Talk JULY 19th @ 7PM with Sue Gardner on "Most Obedient Servant: Tracking the Life and Legacy of John Harthorn and his Militia"
DESCRIPTION:NEVERSINK VALLEY MUSEUM OF HISTORY & INNOVATION PRESENTS: \nHISTORY TALK WITH LOCAL HISTORIAN SUE GARDNER ON  \n“Most Obedient Servant: Tracking the Life and Legacy of John Hathorn and his Militia” \nThe Neversink Valley Museum of History & Innovation presents a History Talk on Wednesday\, July 19th  at 7:00 PM with local historian Sue Gardner where she will be speaking about “Most Obedient Servant: Tracking the Life and Legacy of John Hathorn and his Militia” \nJohn Hathorn of Warwick has always been an enigmatic figure. But\, “The man who lost the Battle of Minisink” was a successful military leader\, politician\, and activist\, he served in the first and fourth Congresses of the United States and was acquainted with many of the important people of his day. Yet his life has remained in the shadows due to the destruction of his collected papers by his family shortly after his death.  A search spanning more than 15 years has turned up a great deal about Hathorn\, his close involvement with the early days of the nation and New York State\, and the activities of his men during the Revolutionary War.  This illustrated presentation by Sue Gardner will trace evidence of this forgotten founding father and the men who were under his command. \nLocal Historian Sue Gardner is Deputy Town Historian for Warwick\, NY and Local History Librarian at Albert Wisner Public Library also in Warwick\, NY.  Sue founded The Friends of Hathorn House in recent years to help preserve the historic home and the legacy of Hathorn and his regiment. \n                  This History Talk will be held July 19\, 2017\, at 7:00 PM at the D & H Canal Park Visitor’s Center\, 58 Hoag Road\, (just off Route 209) Cuddebackville\, NY.
