Orangetown Historical Museum and Archives Outdoor Arts & Crafts Fair on July 23rd

Published

on

Orangeburg, NY – The DePew House was built by Isaac DePew around the time of the American Revolution and was maintained by the original family until 1881. After this time it was owned by the Blauvelt and Morrell families and by 1929 the homestead and farm was purchased by the State of New York as part of the Rockland Psychiatric Hospital’s 638 acre facility. It was acquired by the Town of Orangetown and in 2004 the Orangetown Historical Museum & Archives began renovation and officially opened to the public in 2007. It is a typical Dutch sandstone house with a gambrel roof; the clapboard addition in the 1930’s serves the museum with extra exhibition space. This sandstone and frame homestead now hosts our museum’s changing exhibits, archives, and offices.

Join us for a summer Sunday afternoon visiting the museum and engaging with local artists! On July 23rd from 1:00pm – 4:00pm, the exhibition will be open FREE of charge with outdoor vendors sharing their wares on the grounds of the DePew House!

on

Martin Luther King Jr. was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.
