Joseph Brevoie, director of the Shandaken Historical Museum, reviewed July programming and outreach: Pine Hill Bridal Day film showings, an all-day multicultural music event that drew over 200 attendees from the region, and preparations for 'Eagle Day' on Aug. 22. "The museum had over 45 visitors in July," Brevoie reported, and he described an upcoming living-history component and research into Civil War veterans for a 'Beyond the Grave' project.
