Rosendale, New York - Widow Jane Mine and Museum

This is a cement mine/museum in Rosendale, NY, which claims to have been the cement capital of the US about 100 years ago. After walking around the mine (watch for wet spots), we went into the small museum about both the town and the cement industry.

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]
