Stone Structures of the Catskill Mountains talk with Glenn Kreisberg

Posted

GRAHAMSVILLE — Author Glenn Kreisberg of the Overlook Mountain Center will give a presentation Native American Stone Structures of the Catskill Mountains on Sunday, May 5th at 2 p.m. at the Time and the Valleys Museum on St. Rt. 55 in Grahamsville, Sullivan County.

Scattered throughout the wooded uplands of the Catskill Mountains are a large number of standing lithic structures that are often dismissed as colonial era stone walls and field clearing piles. These formations are increasingly emerging as part of a Native American tradition of ritual building practices. Glenn Kreisberg author of the book, Spirits in Stone: The Story of Megolithic America will present information on potential Native American sacred sites in the Catskills to discern patterns in their construction, positioning and alignments to sky observation. 

Admission is $5 per person, and FREE for Museum members.  In person attendance also includes admission to the museum’s exhibitions, shop and light refreshments.   To join the program virtually, please register by email at info@timeandthevalleysmuseum.org and put “Native American Stone Structures Talk” in the subject line, or call 845-985-7700. A link will be sent to you.  Non-members will be asked to please first make a donation on the Museum’s website:  www.timeandthevalleysmuseum.org/support/donate.
