About Public History in the Hudson Valley

This website is for the purpose of chronicling and sharing some of my work as Orange County (NY) Historian, chair of the Orange County Semiquincentennial Commission and as representative to the Communities Council for the Hudson River Valley Greenway and member of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area council.

Through these roles I work to research, preserve, contextualize and promote the importance of our local narratives.
