Ferry Sloops Fall Lecture Series: “The Ghosts of Undercliff: A Forgotten Community”
What:
The Fall Lecture Series concludes with "The Ghosts of Undercliff: A Forgotten Community" presented by Palisades Interstate Park historical interpreter, Eric Nelsen, in the clubhouse at Shattemuc Yacht Club. There was a time when the Palisades riverfront bustled with diverse communities of rivermen and their families. Through images and narrative, the program sheds light on these forgotten people and places -- and how these settlements got romanticized over time -- even as the life of these forgotten river communities went on, oftentimes hidden in plain sight after the Interstate Park was created. The presentation also highlights the use of the river by sailboats and steamships, as well as the shad fishing industry into the 1980s. Admission is FREE and open to the public.

Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30pm
