Articles, images and historic documents relating to the rich history of New York State’s Hudson Valley Region. This site is maintained by Libbie Werlau, Historian for the Town of Plattekill and for the Plattekill Historical Preservation Society, for the purpose of sharing the town’s rich history, as well as that of the greater Hudson Valley and the Catskills. I am an educator and author of several books and articles on local history. The views and content expressed on this site are my own and do not represent those of any other individual or organization.
