Hominy Workshop
Sunday, September 25, 2022 • 10am – 12:30pm • Cost: $45 • Wild Hudson Valley, 408 Lake Mills Rd, Cairo • Did you know that corn is much more nutritious if it has been nixtamalized (made into hominy)? Native people throughout the Americas have known about this process for millennia, and in the Hudson Valley, indigenous cooks would process much of their corn with lye made of water and hardwood ashes. The end product, called hulled corn or hominy, is also more flavorful because of the ashes, and is higher in vitamin B3 and in calcium. Today, Lenape people continue to process corn with the same methods in their communities in Ontario, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. We learned how to hull corn in 2015 on a visit to the Moraviantown Reserve in Ontario – a community comprised of native people whose ancestors came from throughout the Hudson and Delaware Valleys. Join us for a workshop on hominy making with our recently-harvested flour corn! Participants will be taken through the process, step by step, and get to try traditional hominy. • wildhudsonvalley.com/event-details/hominy-workshop

Segregation & Staatsburgh: From Black Service to White Servants
Monday, October 10, 2022 • 1pm • Cost: Free • 75 Mills Mansion Drive, Staatsburg • Staatsburgh’s founder, Governor Morgan Lewis, enslaved people of African descent at Staatsburgh. Yet, when his great-granddaughter, Ruth Livingston Mills, lived at Staatsburgh at the turn of the 20th Century, the staff was exclusively White and of European descent. At the same time, a free Black community was able to grow and thrive in the surrounding hamlet. • Join site staff for a conversation exploring the transition from a Black presence at Staatsburgh during the early 19th Century to the apparent absence of Black people at the estate during the Gilded Age. This one-hour program will include historic photographs and documents related to this history, notably a letter from Staatsburgh’s archives detailing the sale by Morgan Lewis, of Peter Williams into slavery, to fellow “Founding Father,” John Jay. The presentation will focus on recent research into the Black people living and working in both the Staatsburgh estate and in the hamlet of Staatsburg, bringing in the larger context of racial oppression and Jim Crow, to present audiences with a new perspective on Staatsburgh. • The program is free, but reservations are required at www.Bookeo.com/StaatsburghSHS.
