February meeting at 7:30 pm at the Mulbury House Senior Center located at 62-70 West Main Street, Middletown, NY 10940.
“Will the last person leaving Newburgh please turn out the lights?” Presented by Johanna Yaun, Orange County Historian
From 1957 to 1975, the City of Newburgh underwent a period of Urban Renewal. In an effort to modernize the old port city along the Hudson River, city leaders accepted Federal funds to
dispense in demolishing over 1,400 buildings. Johanna will discuss the losses suffered by the community, including the displacement of residents and the loss of important historical
structures. The discussion will be accompanied by never-before-seen photos from the collection of Gerard M. Mastropaolo who documented the demolitions from 1970-1975.
Johanna Yaun, the Orange County Historian will present at our February 16th meeting tonight at 7:30 pm at the Mulbury House Senior Center located at 62-70 West Main Street, Middletown, NY 10940.
