Course Information Learn about majoring or minoring in history. In , a power "spike" resulting from an off-campus traffic accident seriously damaged electrical transformers in five buildings on campus, contaminating them with PCBs. The school wasted no time in summoning county and state health departments for guidance on a massive clean-up.
In response to this incident, PCBs have not been used on the campus since The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, which opened in , is one of the largest museums in SUNY, with more than 9, square feet of exhibition space in six galleries. The Dorsky's permanent collection comprises more than 5, works of American Art with emphasis on the Hudson Valley and Catskill Regions , 19th, 20th and 21st century photography, metals, and a "world collection" of art and artifacts dating back to ancient times and representing diverse cultures.
New Paltz has always embraced international education. In , the college welcomed 50 female students from Cuba. So, that history runs just as deep as the standard Huguenot history and interpretation, as well as the Dutch, of course. So, incorporate that into all of our daily tours.
We also incorporate it into special public and educational programming including school programs, I might add. The main thing and the main way that we interpret the history of slavery on the street and in the region is through the narrative of Sojourner Truth. Sojourner Truth was both born and enslaved locally in Ulster County and actually was owned by a family that lived in the New Paltz patent for a time.
Now that family did not live necessarily on Huguenot Street but New Paltz used to be much larger than it is today and that family did live here. Based on her narrative we can pretty much assume that the individuals who were enslaved by the Huguenots, by the Dutch colonists, and their descendants likely lived under similar circumstances that she lived under and was enslaved under.
What we do have in terms of primary documents that do record the existence of slavery in New Paltz and on Huguenot Street are often tax records, individuals would have been taxed for the enslaved that they owned. We also see a lot of runaway slave ads for this region, which really speaks to the strength and bravery of these individuals, that they got up and ran from their captors.
LL : Beyond the general tours, the other programming we do includes large public events like Juneteenth. Kara worked closely with the slave dwelling project, which is based in South Carolina. They came up here and did an overnight program up here in one of the slave cellars.
