Art, Industry, and Scientific Innovation in 19th Century Peekskill (virtual)
Peekskill in the 1800’s was a nexus for artistry, innovation, and invention in the fields of communication and manufacturing. Its scenic location at the entrance to the Hudson Highlands made it a favorite for painters of the Hudson River School, the best-known local artist being Frank Anderson.
In his virtual lecture, presented by the Putnam History Museum, local historian and industrial archaeologist Kirk Moldoff will look at the development and interrelationships of this community of manufacturers, innovators, inventors, artists and artisans that existed through the rise and fall of industrial Peekskill.
Kirk Moldoff is a medical illustrator and animator with a passion for industrial archaeology, local history and cast iron stoves.
