Catskill, NY - On Sunday, March 15, Cedar Grove Historic Site will host a "Sunday Salon" at Noon. Cedar Grove was the home of noted Hudson River School founder Thomas Cole.
During the 19th century, Thomas Cole, Sanford Gifford, and Frederic Church spent much of their lives here in the Catskill region of the Hudson River Valley.
Join independent scholar Dr. Gerald L. Carr, head of the Frederic Edwin Church Catalogue Raisonné Project - and himself a former Hudson Valley resident- as he shares new findings from his recent research on these three artists. Emphasizing Church, he will highlight three newly discovered period writings, one per artist, with personal details that bring these men back to life.
A wonderful opportunity to learn something new about Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School of art, Sunday Salons are informal discussions followed by a wine reception which take place once per month at Cedar Grove.
Tickets are $9, or $6 for members. Admission is first-come-first-served. Each Salon begins at 2 pm.
Just before the Sunday Salon, join us for an information open house for all those interested in volunteering during the 2009 season. We are looking for people who love learning and who are interested in helping us accommodate the growing number of visitors to the historic site.
Want more information? Come to this event and enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour as well as free admission to the Salon that begins at 2pm. Orientation for new volunteers will begin on April 4th, so now is the perfect time to come and see what it is all about.
For more volunteer information call Gregory, 518-943-7465 ext.2.
Cedar Grove, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, is located at 218 Spring Street in Catskill,
near the intersection of Spring Street (Route 382) and Route 23, near the Rip Van Winkle Bridge.
