The Garden Bistro 24 in Slingerlands will donate 15% of all food and beverage to the Slingerland Family Burial Vault restoration efforts, the following two Tuesdays, September 18, and 25. Please consider bringing family and friends and enjoy a meal at a great local restaurant. Starting at 3pm any dine in or take out qualifies. A special $24 Three-Course Meal has been planned for this (see below), but you may also order from the main menu.
Restoration of Slingerland Family Burial Vault
- Who are the Friends of the Slingerland Family Vault?
In the fall of 2017, Town Historian Susan Leath gathered a small committee to facilitate the preservation and maintenance of the Slingerland Family Burial Vault, and to raise money to make the restoration possible. The Friends include:
Frank Slingerland (Bethlehem Town resident and Slingerlanddescendant), Bob Mullens (Slingerland descendant), Joan Roy (Slingerland descendant), Sue Virgilio (Slingerland descendant), Susan Leath, (Bethlehem Town Historian), Kathleen Bragle (neighbor), Georgia Fishburn (neighbor), Ana Webb (neighbor)
- Our Project
The Slingerland Family Burial Vault, the sacred resting place of the family for which the village of Slingerlands is named, is located in the Historic District of Slingerlands, NY. Vandalism to the front face and interior of the vault occurred prior to 1980. As a way to protect the vault, the Town of Bethlehem was deeded the property in 1991 by descendants of the Slingerland family, along with a right of way to access it. After many years of neglect and unsuccessful restoration attempts, we now have some hope. Our new Town administration is actively involved and committed to restore the vault, as are all the Friends.
