Tannery Hides and the Beaverkill Bridge Virtual Program by the Time and the Valleys Museum 2 p.m. Tanning, or the process of converting animal skins to finished leather, is one of the oldest known crafts. The tanning process required large quantities of both water and hemlock bark, and the Catskill area had both. Men with vision purchased thousands of acres of forested land and built tanneries near the seemingly unlimited supply of water, which quickly became polluted by the tanning process. Prosperity came with the tanneries, in the form of turnpikes, villages and sawmills. Sullivan County alone had thirty-nine tanneries by 1860. In the program Tannery Hides and the Beaverkill Bridge, Town of Rockland Historian Dr. Joyce Conroy will tell the story of how one hundred year old tanned hides were found in the Beaverkill Bridge in Roscoe, Sullivan County. Admission to the Museum's virtual events is EASY. Just email the Museum at info@timeandthevalleysmuseum.org to register, and you will receive a reply email invitation with information on how to log in for the program. Please call 985-7700 or info@timeandthevalleysmuseum.org for more info.
