Canvas And Hemlock: The Revolutionary Dawn Of The Catskills

A Presentation by Greene County Historian Jonathan Palmer at The Mountain Top Historical Society in Collaboration with The Thomas Cole National Historic Site.

Greene County’s Closing 250th Celebration

Mr. Palmer’s talk will focus on the shaping of American identity that took place in the Catskill Mountains in the years following the end of the American Revolution. Through the lens of the Hudson River School of Art, attendees will learn how the establishment of the country’s first distinct artistic tradition occurred hand-in-hand with the development of the Catskills as an epicenter of industry and leisure in the young Republic. Mr. Palmer’s program will be presented in the 1913 Ulster & Delaware train station located on our campus.

Location: 1913 Ulster & Delaware Train Station, Mountain Top Historical Society, 5132 Rt 23A, Haines Falls.
