MEMBERSHIP




As we look forward to 2024, we are very much in need of your continued support. Your donations and membership allow us to pursue our efforts to preserve Rhinebeck history, whether that be through our archival work, in-person presentations, or community collaborations.


Most recently, we've been gifted antique newspapers from the Strong family that fill an enormous gap in RHS's collection of The Rhinebeck Gazette. Thanks to your support, decades in the latter half of the 19th century– previously unavailable– will be accessible to all at no cost, once digitized and posted online.

FEATURING: Gene Bullock on "The Lane Family Legacy"


DESCRIPTION: In 1876, Benjamin Brown Lane was born in Rhinebeck, NY and lived with his parents and older sister at 23 & 25 Oak St. What follows is the story of a family-- that of Deputy Sheriff of Dutchess County Benjamin Lane-- which provides greater insight into the lives of Rhinebeck's residents during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Indeed, the legacy of the Lane surname persists to this day! Join Gene as he explores the heartfelt moments, grand achievements, and tribulations which were lived through by families during this time, as told through the lens of the Lane family's own experiences.
