Once Ancient Oceans with Hudson River Maritime Museum
Thursday, April 2nd @ 6:00 pm
Before the first dinosaurs, before the first mammals, just as the very first forests were beginning to form on Earth, the land that makes up New York State today was covered by an ancient ocean. How did the geology formed by this ancient world, nearly 400 million years ago, shape life and commerce along the Hudson River throughout the 1800s and into the present? In Fossils to Foundations, you will learn about the diverse geological landscape of New York State and the Hudson River Valley. Discover how ancient geological formations became the foundation of transportation and industry along the Hudson River and beyond.

Agency and Ownership with Ulster County Historian, Eddie Moran
Saturday, April 18th @ 11 am
In 1673, French colonist Louis Dubois purchased two enslaved Africans named Anthony and Susanna from the Dutch sheriff in what is now Kingston, NY. However, Anthony and Susanna fled from Dubois in early 1674, crossing the Hudson River and returning to the plantation of their former enslaver, Col. Lewis Morris, in what is now the Bronx. Over the following 6 years, Dubois and Morris engaged in a drawn out and bitter legal dispute over ownership of Anthony and Susanna. In this presentation, Ulster County Historian Eddie Moran will guide attendees through an array of 17th century documents to reveal Anthony and Susanna’s powerful story of agency and resistance.
This is part two of a two-part series presented by the Ulster County Historian.
