Phantoms Of The Hudson Valley

Sunday October 22, 2006 2:00PM At the Garden City Public Library

Some say that ghosts haunt many of the mansions along the Hudson River. Join Historical preservationist and photographer Monica Randall, author of Phantoms of the Hudson Valley: Glorious Estates of a Lost Era, as she presents a slide-lecture presentation exploring the mysteries and splendor of these fascinating estates built by the eminent families of a bygone era. Many of these stately mansions have been abandoned, turned into museums or razed. Experience what life must have been like during this era as Monica Randall enthralls us with sepia-toned photographs which capture the splendor of the Hudson Valley's palatial estates, and enjoy listening to the exciting tales of people who lived there. What better time than the Halloween season to enjoy this visual spectacle of mystery and glamour! Registration is not needed.
