Free lecture will follow

The Putnam History Museum will hold its annual meeting at 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 12, with a free lecture to follow by trustee Bill Jeffway on Native American and African American history in northern Dutchess County. “As the mystery of northern Dutchess’ Chief Crow recedes, the stories of pre-Civil War rural African Americans emerge,” said Jeffway, who will use a 1935 New York State roadside marker as a starting point.

To attend, RSVP to [email protected]. The museum is located at 63 Chestnut St. in Cold Spring.
