Margaretville is no stranger to disaster; fires and floods have periodically taken a toll on the village, changing its appearance, its make-up and its vibe.
On Saturday, May 18 at 11 a.m., the Historical Society of the Town of Middletown will host a one-hour walking tour of Main and Bridge Streets to explain the impact of disastrous fires and floods over more than a century.
Tour leader Diane Galusha will describe, through narrative and photos, how the community has rallied time and again to rise from mud and ashes and to reinvent its future.
Reservations for the walk are not necessary; admission is by donation. Meet at Binnekill Park opposite NBT bank on Main Street. Walkers are encouraged to have lunch afterward at one of several downtown eateries.
FMI: 845-586-4973 or history@catskill.net.
