The 'decoding' series is not merely a look at the past, but an examination of the discovery and 'detective' process involved. Learn how the experts turn over stones, 'connect-the-dots' and discover the unexpected. Join us as the Dutchess Historical Society will explore the hidden history of the one-time-hat-making capital of New York in partnership with the Beacon Historical Society. The event is free and open to the public. For additional information: information@howlandculturalcenter.org.
