Where did it go?
On Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Butterfield Library in Cold Spring, historian Diane Lapis will discuss her research on the vanished utopia of Nitgedaiget. Lapis is a trustee of the Beacon Historical Society. Nitgedaiget was a community that flourished on the border between Beacon and Philipstown for much of the 20th century. The presentation begins at 4 p.m.

This may be a “rural legend,” but my uncle, during the late 1940s and early ’50s, pointed to wooded area on 9D in Cold Spring and said it was a former nudist colony. Is this true?
