Neversink and Denning History Afternoon

The Time and the Valleys Museum hosts Neversink and Denning History Afternoon on Sunday, November 3rd at 1 p.m. in Grahamsville, New york . Visitors can browse through Town of Neversink and Denning photos, records, stories and artifacts from the archives to learn about the history of both towns.

The afternoon includes a special program by archivist and Museum Trustee Lynn Priebe at 2 p.m.: Place Names in the Rondout and Neversink Watershed areas. Local place names have come from various sources. The Native Americans, Dutch and English who occupied the lower Hudson Valley and Catskill region all contributed. Later, early settlers chose names to honor founders or famous people. Government entities have often dictated choices. The history of local place names and how they have changed over time will be discussed, with special attention given to communities in Neversink and Denning and the reservoirs built in the Catskill watershed.
