As New York prepares to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States in 2026, museums and historical societies have been called upon to create exhibits (see ad at right) and events designed to commemorate the contributions of Hudson Valley residents during the American Revolution. I recently met with the staff of the Putnam History Museum to begin planning for a new exhibition titled Revolutionary Visions: Women of the Hudson Highlands during the American Revolution. This exhibition will include local artists’s paintings of women such as Sybil Ludington, Margaret Corbin, and Deborah Sampson. These paintings will be accompanied by profiles of these women’s contributions to the fight for independence. This exhibit is set to premier in November. Contact us for more details.
