The Matthewis Persen House Museum in Kingston, Ulster County, NY, will host Stephen Blauweiss of Blauweiss Media on Saturdays, July 30th, August 6th, and August 13th, for a talk on their new book The Story of Historic Kingston.
With a background in filmmaking, graphic design, historical research, and writing, Stephen Blauweiss and Karen Berelowitz’s second book combines a visual presentation with concise and informative text about the vibrant 400-year history of the Mid-Hudson Valley region.

After four years of research using a variety of public and private archives, books, publications, and personal interviews, the 500-page book covers hundreds of topics. Stop by the Persen House July 30, August 6 and August 13 from 11am-2pm each day to view this informative new book and chat with co-author Stephen Blauweiss.
