Hudson Valley Riverside Moguls, Part 2: Titans of Industry

Author, musician, and historian Alex Prizgintas will present Part Two of his Hudson Valley Riverside Moguls series titled “Titans of Industry.” Focusing on other arenas of the Gilded Age--from Rockefeller’s Kykuit Estate in Westchester County to the elaborate estates of Tuxedo Park, the Ogden-Mills Staatsburgh Estate, the Colonel Oliver Hazard Payne Mansion now operated by Marist College, and Orange County’s two Spanish-Italianate Estates owned by Charles E. Rushmore and the Robert Goelet--Alex combines rich information with photographs, embedded videos, and audio quotes from noted biographies to trace together this extravagant and complicated era of the Hudson Valley’s history.
