SUMMARY:The Dutch & Their New York Legacy Lecture with Stephen Blauweiss
DESCRIPTION:Dutch history can be elusive – it’s rarely taught in our schools and with so many disparate parts it often follows a meandering\, convoluted path and connections are obscured. Historian/filmmaker Stephen Blauweiss brings this history to life in a fun and engaging way\, using a vast array of quality images\, maps\, and timelines. What was once opaque becomes clear and understandable as the stories unfold and connect on multiple levels. \nPart 2 of 3 part series with historian Stephen Blauweiss. Stephen has over 30 years experience as an independent filmmaker and produces work on a wide variety of subjects\, from art and education to social and environmental issues. He has produced over 75 short films\, including three features. Twenty of his short films about artists have aired on American Public Television and have been screened in museums and festivals across the U.S.\, Europe and Canada\, including the New York State Museum\, Mass Moca\, the Albany Institute of History & Art\, and the Dorsky Museum of Art. \nRegistration for all lecture found here: https://bit.ly/4exKng6

SUMMARY:Walkie Talkie with Us: Historic Rondout Walking Tours - Wurts St. Hike
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson River Maritime Museum has announced Walkie Talkie with Us\, a new and novel series of educational historic strolls and more vigorous walks in the Kingston Rondout area. Led by an HRMM Educator and avid walker\, each 1 -3 mile walk will explore a different neighborhood or street in the Kingston waterfront area (Rondout)\, uncovering stories behind historic homes and buildings\, local landmarks\, and the people who shaped Rondout’s past. \nWalkie Talkie with Us is different from other walking tours that provide a walk/stop/talk format which are generally anaerobic. Walkie Talkie with Us tours maintain a gentle yet continuous pace which are more aerobic\, with the Educator turning\, walking and talking\, to share stories and local historical musings with the group. Two routes will be offered on a rotating monthly basis\, including a less strenuous “stroll” and a more rigorous “hike\,” which will include the steep incline of Wurts Street. Routes will be chosen for walkability and seating opportunities\, ensuring comfort and inclusion for all participants.

SUMMARY:Batter Up! The History of Baseball in Kingston and Ulster County
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the early history of baseball in Ulster County and the role the region played in the sport’s development during the mid-19th century. Long before professional leagues\, baseball took root in river towns like Kingston and Rondout\, where dockworkers\, tradesmen\, and clerks organized clubs and played on open fields. Drawing on newspaper accounts\, box scores\, and local records\, the talk highlights how baseball functioned as both recreation and community life in the Hudson Valley. Special attention is given to local clubs\, early rivalries\, and games that drew regional and even national attention. This lecture also examines how Ulster County fits into larger stories about amateur baseball\, race\, and the transition toward organized leagues. By focusing on specific people and places\, it shows how national baseball history was shaped by very local experiences. The result is a grounded look at how a global game grew out of small communities along the Hudson River.
