Just as Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) wraps up a major three-year project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to conserve and digitize over 24,000 pages of New Paltz’s earliest documents, they received notification of a second grant of $349,956 from the federal agency to expand and complete the ambitious project. The additional funding will extend the project from the mid-1600s through the second half of the 19th century, encompassing another 18,500 pages from the HHS Archives, Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection at Elting Memorial Library, Town of New Paltz, and Reformed Church of New Paltz.
Ready, set, BLOOM! Historic Huguenot Street is hosting a day full of flowers and fun on Saturday, April 27th. Kids can learn all about Dutch tulip-mania, make floral crafts, and learn how they can help local pollinators. There will be snacks, face-painting, and even more fun surprises, so come get your Spring on!
