Sound and Story Project of the Hudson Valley
Eileen McAdam, Director of The Sound and Story Project of the Hudson Valley, will be the featured speaker for the Annual Meeting of the Friends of Senate House on Wednesday November 4th, at the Senate House Museum, 312 Fair Street in Kingston.
Ms. McAdam has made it her mission to preserve and celebrate the history and culture of the Hudson Valley through recorded sound. Her Sound and Story Project includes oral history interviews but it also encompasses many unusual sound recordings that portray this region, including the now-silenced bells of early American churches, or the sounds of bats in the caves of Rosendale. McAdam will talk about the art and method of capturing and preserving sounds, and the history they offer us.
The program will begin with light refreshments in the Musuem's Vanderlyn Gallery at 6:30 PM, followed by a brief annual report, with the keynote address starting at 7:15 PM in the second floor gallery. The program is free and open to the public.
This year the Friends of Senate House supported a diverse range of activities and events for the public, including 17th, 18th, and 19th century living history events, as well as celebrations of African-American and Native-American contributions to our history, heritage, and culture. The Friends of Senate House also help make possible the historic site's many school programs, which serve schools in several counties. The November 4th event is a great opportunity for newcomers and current supporters alike to learn about the Friends' recent activities and enjoy an entertaining evening.
