“We still rely on insulators on our power lines to deliver our power today,” interestingly he said. While the telegraph is long gone, they’re still a viable piece of technology.”
He says that at one time there were several glass factories in the Hudson Valley.
“We’re going to have an exhibit, and it’s on local glass companies that were in the Hudson Valley,” he said. “There was a very large glass factory in Ellenville. There was another medium-sized but short-lived glass factory in Newburgh.”
The show runs on Saturday the 19th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Windy Knoll Farm at 52 Lewis Lane.
