2018 Historic Hoags Corners Photo Calendar: Now Available

the 2018 Historic Hoags Corners Photo Calendar has just been released. East Nassau Village Historian tom Kernan and HC resident Terry Lasher Winslow have put together the calendar which features historical photographs of the hamlet of Hoags Corners, NY. Once a thriving community on the Tstsawassa Creek, the community hosted several mills and factories that harnessed the power of the creek water to power these industries in the early 19th century. Hoags Corners was also the epicenter of the Anti-rent War in the 1840s, a movement to end the colonial custom of collecting "rent" from the land owners to the Dutch Patroons. Proceeds from the calendar will be used for a Historical Resource Inventory Survey of the buildings in the hamlet. Calendars can be purchased at the Nassau Town Hall, Blueberry Hill Cafe on Route 20 in New Lebanon, the Schodack Flea Market on Route 9 or by calling 518.766.5131. For more information, please call 518.766.5131 or 716.425.4005.
