The Historical Society of Rockland County Opens Two Exhibitions: Voices from Rockland: An Early History of the County(on permanent display)and Why Archives Matter (on display through May 9)with a reception on March 21.
The Voices from Rockland: Early History of the County exhibition will relate early history through historic objects and documents representing the stories of the people, buildings and sites using the Historical Society’s varied collections to tell stories.
For example, a Lenape cooking pot will begin to tell the story of the history around the Leni-Lenape daily life. A beautiful and rare Rooster Weathervane leads us into the history of early Dutch residents, exploring settlement patterns and important landmarks. A pair of Treason House Candlesticks will help us explore the story of Rockland’s “Treason House” where, supposedly, Benedict Arnold met with the spy Major Andre to plot against Washington’s troops. The exhibition will also include Nyack Turnpike mementos including maps, petitions, cut nails, information about Pierson’s factory in Suffern and information on settlements and factories in Ramapo. The story of Tom, an enslaved man in Rockland County will be relayed with documents and archival records. Through Tunis Smith’s diary the exhibition will look at observations from a farmer’s diary in the lower Hudson --ordinary, extraordinary, and vivid details of farming as a way of life and the relationship farmers have to the landscape, weather, crop production and sales. With the help of documents from Elizabeth Van Houten’s Sampler, the exhibition will explore childhood in that period of time and information about her and her family.
Why Archives Matter, a traveling exhibition developed by the Upstate History Alliance explores the meaning, use and preservation of archives and historical records using visuals from repositories throughout Upstate New York, including photographs, maps. Highlights of the exhibit include Civil War diaries; WWI exemption letters; a 1775 Stony Point Deed; WWII era cards; Woman’s Suffrage handbills; cotton horse thief poster from Clarkstown circa 1890 and an 1877 Ramapo tax ledger.
Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Sunday admission includes a tour of the historic 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on the museum’s property. Admission to both exhibition: $7; $5 HSRC members; $3 children under 12. Price includes free admission to the 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on Sundays from 12:00-4:00 p.m.

Rockland artist Lisa Levart will unveil her newest photographic exhibition entitled, Women of Rockland, at the opening reception on Saturday, April 17, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at The Nyack Center’s “Women’s Celebration Brunch”. The exhibition will remain at The Nyack Center through April 28 and will then travel around the county. Levart, the 2009 recipient of the Individual Artist grant through Arts Council of Rockland, said that the grant enabled her to bring this project to fruition.
Women of Rockland features a series of large photographic fabric banners with images of five Rockland County women from diverse cultures that capture evocative contemporary interpretations of known and little known sacred myths from their individual and international cultures including a Jewish filmmaker, the founder of Mzuzu Academy, the first internationally accredited secondary school in the northern region of Malawi, a Chinese American visual artist, three young college students from the Sufi Mosque in Chestnut Ridge and a French Gypsy singer/songwriter. The photographic images will be accompanied by a written piece commenting on the ancient myth that each woman chose to embody and why that sacred story has meaning in their everyday lives.
“As a community, Rockland County is evolving, and increasingly becoming diverse in the cultures, faiths and languages of its residents. Yet, even within this amazing mosaic, we often know little about the sacred myths and poetic life stories of our neighbors,” said Levart. “When we reach back into the early myths and stories of all cultures, we often have more similarities than differences. By sharing these photographs with the public, I hope to set the stage for increased dialogue and communication within the Rockland community, as well as an appreciation for the basic connectiveness between the different traditions that help shape our world,” continued Levart.
For those who are familiar with Levart from her Goddess on Earth installation that was displayed at Riverspace Arts in Nyack in 2009, you know that this will be a show worth traveling to see, whether in your own home town or around the county.

The Historical Society of Rockland County Opens Two Exhibitions: Voices from Rockland: An Early History of the County(on permanent display)and Why Archives Matter (on display through May 9)with a reception on March 21.
The Voices from Rockland: Early History of the County exhibition will relate early history through historic objects and documents representing the stories of the people, buildings and sites using the Historical Society’s varied collections to tell stories.
For example, a Lenape cooking pot will begin to tell the story of the history around the Leni-Lenape daily life. A beautiful and rare Rooster Weathervane leads us into the history of early Dutch residents, exploring settlement patterns and important landmarks. A pair of Treason House Candlesticks will help us explore the story of Rockland’s “Treason House” where, supposedly, Benedict Arnold met with the spy Major Andre to plot against Washington’s troops. The exhibition will also include Nyack Turnpike mementos including maps, petitions, cut nails, information about Pierson’s factory in Suffern and information on settlements and factories in Ramapo. The story of Tom, an enslaved man in Rockland County will be relayed with documents and archival records. Through Tunis Smith’s diary the exhibition will look at observations from a farmer’s diary in the lower Hudson --ordinary, extraordinary, and vivid details of farming as a way of life and the relationship farmers have to the landscape, weather, crop production and sales. With the help of documents from Elizabeth Van Houten’s Sampler, the exhibition will explore childhood in that period of time and information about her and her family.
Why Archives Matter, a traveling exhibition developed by the Upstate History Alliance explores the meaning, use and preservation of archives and historical records using visuals from repositories throughout Upstate New York, including photographs, maps. Highlights of the exhibit include Civil War diaries; WWI exemption letters; a 1775 Stony Point Deed; WWII era cards; Woman’s Suffrage handbills; cotton horse thief poster from Clarkstown circa 1890 and an 1877 Ramapo tax ledger.
Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Sunday admission includes a tour of the historic 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on the museum’s property. Admission to both exhibition: $7; $5 HSRC members; $3 children under 12. Price includes free admission to the 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on Sundays from 12:00-4:00 p.m.

Rockland artist Lisa Levart will unveil her newest photographic exhibition entitled, Women of Rockland, at the opening reception on Saturday, April 17, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at The Nyack Center’s “Women’s Celebration Brunch”. The exhibition will remain at The Nyack Center through April 28 and will then travel around the county. Levart, the 2009 recipient of the Individual Artist grant through Arts Council of Rockland, said that the grant enabled her to bring this project to fruition.
Women of Rockland features a series of large photographic fabric banners with images of five Rockland County women from diverse cultures that capture evocative contemporary interpretations of known and little known sacred myths from their individual and international cultures including a Jewish filmmaker, the founder of Mzuzu Academy, the first internationally accredited secondary school in the northern region of Malawi, a Chinese American visual artist, three young college students from the Sufi Mosque in Chestnut Ridge and a French Gypsy singer/songwriter. The photographic images will be accompanied by a written piece commenting on the ancient myth that each woman chose to embody and why that sacred story has meaning in their everyday lives.
“As a community, Rockland County is evolving, and increasingly becoming diverse in the cultures, faiths and languages of its residents. Yet, even within this amazing mosaic, we often know little about the sacred myths and poetic life stories of our neighbors,” said Levart. “When we reach back into the early myths and stories of all cultures, we often have more similarities than differences. By sharing these photographs with the public, I hope to set the stage for increased dialogue and communication within the Rockland community, as well as an appreciation for the basic connectiveness between the different traditions that help shape our world,” continued Levart.
For those who are familiar with Levart from her Goddess on Earth installation that was displayed at Riverspace Arts in Nyack in 2009, you know that this will be a show worth traveling to see, whether in your own home town or around the county.
