Event Details

The Hudson River was yesteryear's Thruway. Steamboats dominated Hudson River travel after Robert Fulton’s North River (the Clermont) traveled from New York City to Albany in 1807 in a record 32 hours.

Local Historian Mark Peckham will share information on the fascinating history of the steamboats that navigated the Hudson River during the 19th and mid-20th centuries.
