The man who was there is the president of the historical society and lives adjacent. He seems really knowledgeable about history in Ulster County and had interesting and probably accurate strong opinions about a really large historical society in an adjacent town. And he is trying to rebuild the buildings on the property -- it seems almost by himself. [cathy, 08/29/2008]
[RA: The man that you met, Dietrich Werner, died in December 2009. He was passionate about Rosendale Cement, and will be missed by those who appreciate firm foundations and smooth surfaces.]Nearby Offbeat Places
