The Native History of the Catskills

For centuries, native people traveled through the Catskill Mountains on well-known paths and visited select locations for hunting elk, passenger pigeons and other game. By the 18th century, secluded valleys became a refuge for families retreating from Euro-American settlement. This presentation will explore the identity of these communities and tell their stories.  As part of the "Lunch & Learn" series at Clinton Comminuty Library, registration is FREE and includes lunch! Registration opens in March on the library's Online Calendar.
