Riverside Moguls: Wealth and Power in the Hudson Valley: Part Two: Titans of Industry (Zoom)

Author, Musician, and Historian Alex Prizgintas will return to the Warner Library over Zoom on September 23rd at 7:00 PM for part two of his “Riverside Moguls: Wealth and Power in the Hudson Valley’s Gilded Age” lecture series.

Whereas Part 1 focused on five industrialists tied to the railroading industry, Part 2, titled “Titans of Industry,” focuses on other areas of the Gilded Age. From Rockefeller’s Kykuit Estate in Westchester County to the elaborate estates of Tuxedo Park, the Ogden-Mills Staatsburgh Estate, the Colonel Oliver Hazard Payne Mansion now operated by Marist College, and Orange County’s two Spanish-Italianate Estates owned by Charles E. Rushmore and the Robert Goelet, Prizgintas combines rich information with photographs, embedded videos, and audio quotes from noted biographies to trace together this extravagant and complicated era of the Hudson Valley’s history.
