Bicentennial Lecture Series: The Cornish Estate and the Northgate Ruins

Estate living was a major party of Putnam County’s development in the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in Philipstown. Join us to learn the history behind the evocative ruins found on the popular hike across 9D from Little Stony Point. View rarely-seen photographs of the original estate in this lecture with Thom Johnson, co-author of Postcards of America: Bannerman’s Island, and Rob Yasinsac, co-author of Hudson Valley Ruins.
