Senate House State Historic Site
On Saturday, August 3rd at 1:00pm, Senate House will be hosting
a free presentation and book signing for Bearing
Witness: Exploring the Legacy of Enslavement in Ulster County in
the site's museum building.
Join in for an afternoon with the authors Susan Stessin-Cohn, Philip White, and
Ashley Biagini as they share the new website Bearing
Witness, developed in connection with the Ulster County Truth
and Reconciliation Commission. During their presentation, they will reveal
stories of a handful of notable Black residents of Ulster County, from the
early days of enslavement under the Dutch and English, to the blossoming of
free Black culture in the era following New York's legal abolition of slavery
in 1827. Copies of the authors' book Bearing
Witness will be available for purchase and signature.
While the talk is free to attend, tours of Senate House and access to the
museum's exhibit will also be available for $7.00 for adults, $5.00 for
seniors, with children ages 12 and under admitted free.
