The Lost Estates of Peekskill
November 22, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
With names such as Mount Florence, Rest Hill, and the Beeches, the hills overlooking Peekskill were once home to magnificent properties with national reputations. Owned by people such as Daniel Craig, one of the founders of the Associated Press, the abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher and Moses Sperry Beach, owner of the New York Sun, the estates were sites of scandal, adultery, and humbug. Join local historian Kirk Moldoff for a look into a little-known aspect of local life in the 1800s.
This event is sponsored by Croton Friends of History and will take place in the Ottinger Room of the Croton Free Library. To learn more about Croton Friends of History see our website and follow us on Facebook.
