Hudson Valley Ruins with Rob Yasinsac and Tom Rinaldi Online
Join historians and authors, Rob Yasinsac and Tom Rinaldi, for this virtual presentation devoted to historic sites in New York's Hudson River Valley that are threatened by neglect.
Based on their book, Hudson Valley Ruins, Rob and Tom share long overdue glimpses at some of the region’s forgotten cultural treasures. In addition to learning about great river estates, discover treasures more meaningful to everyday life in the Valley: churches and hotels, commercial and civic buildings, mills and train stations, including works by some of the most important names in American architectural history, such as Alexander Jackson Davis and Calvert Vaux.
