Reflections

<p>This collection of interviews with local residents offers a glimpse of life from pre-World War II through the 1980s in a small Hudson River Valley hamlet located between Rhinebeck and Hyde Park New York. </p><p>The narrators recall what is was like to work on the Great Estates play all summer in and on the river get through the Depression encounter Roosevelts and live in a once bustling village in simpler times. </p><p>Each of the narrators interviewed has passed away; but in the stories they left us each in their own voice we see how this community like so many others is truly a family. From those heartfelt memories we learn that just as families thrive and struggle together so did the hamlet of Staatsburg. </p>
