History on the Radio: Getting There Exhibition at the Orangetown Historical Museum and Archives
Tune in to the next Crossroads of Rockland History on
Monday, April 17, 9:30 am, on WRCR 1700AM
We’ll explore “Getting There: Rivers, Roads, Rails,” the new exhibition opening at the Orangetown Historical Museum & Archives.
Mary Cardenas, Orangetown Historian and museum director, and Elizabeth Skrabonja, exhibition curator, will join host Clare Sheridan, and we’ll find out why transportation matters in a place where the journey is a part of the adventure.
The exhibition, which features models, paintings, maps, a film and more, will open at the DePew House, 196 Chief Bill Harris Way, Orangeburg, on Sunday, April 23. It will be open to the public on Tuesdays and Fridays, 10 am–2 pm and Sundays, 1–4 pm, through November 2023.
