Please support those who value our local history
DCHS is grateful for the generous support of the Dutchess County Government as February sponsors of our Virtual Event Space as we focus on Black History Month. Such funding makes our talks and events possible, and available at no charge to the viewer. Each month features at least one live event allowing the opportunity for questions and discussion. The presentation portion is then archived in our growing library of archived videos available at your convenience. Please thank and support those who enable our work in the identification, preservation and sharing of our local history.
