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.
