Saugerties Historical Society

A great opportunity to visit our local parks for free.

This is NOT the official site for the Saugerties Historical Society,

Today marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House, VA. General Ely Par...ker, a Tonawanda Seneca, drafted the surrender papers at the request of General Ulysses S. Grant. In the following image of General Grant and his staff, General Parker is pictured second from the right. http://iarchives.nysed.gov/dmsBlue/viewImageData.jsp?id=1093 See more

Working on a letter from the Saugerties Historical Society to our membership and the public. I locked in our oil price today for the Kiersted house and realized... that last year we used approx. 1200 gallons of oil. With less than $2000 in our account and a big insurance bill ahead for liability insurance the Society could use some help. We were fortunate to finish the barn debt-free but our accounts are very low. See more
