PRESENTATION: Tom Mayer: "The Livingstons of the Hudson Valley: Their Evolution and Revolution"
LOCATION: Rhinebeck Reformed Church (6368 Mill St., Rhinebeck, NY 12572)
DESCRIPTION:
The first Livingston arrived in New York in 1674 and the subsequent three generations played a dominant role in the development of the Hudson Valley. They carved productive lands out of forest wilderness, established progressive new industries, built manor homes on palatial estates, and founded hamlets, villages and townships. The Livingstons intermarried with other prominent Hudson Valley families to form an aristocratic heritage, and they used their wealth and power to fuel the American Revolution. During that time, they also faced significant trials and tribulations that tested their resolve and threatened their families.
