The Revolutionary War in the Hudson Valley inspired the rise of heroes and heroines alike. On a rainy night in 1777, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington mounted her beloved horse and rode forty miles through enemy-infested Putnam County to warn her father's regiment of impending British raids. Riding twice the distance of Paul Revere and under more dire circumstances, her heroic efforts helped position the Continental army in subsequent battles. A widow at a young age, Sybil became a successful businesswoman in a male-dominated profession and lived in the region for her remaining years. Through family documents and correspondence, author Vincent T. Dacquino charts the incredible life and legacy of Sybil Ludington.

Long Island City may be one of New York's fastest growing neighborhoods, but it already has an incredible history within the Big Apple. DeWitt Clinton lived in a mansion off Newtown Creek and is credited with bringing the "Inland Empire'? to the "Empire City'? by spearheading the construction of the Erie canal, connecting America's heartland to New York's economic hub. William Steinway saw Astoria as the perfect blank canvas to build his groundbreaking "Steinway Settlement,'? including a waterfront park, public bathhouse, housing, a family mansion and a new factory to build his world-renowned pianos. The neighborhood has been a center of innovation, with Chester Carlson's lab as the site of the first photocopy. And the Sony company launched dozens of pioneering transistor-based products from Sunnyside's Van Dam street.
Join the Greater Astoria Historical Society as they present historic tales from Long Island City.
