Les mer A Walk Through Woodbury

Join Alex Prizgintas and his father as they unearth the local history of Woodbury, NY, in A Walk Through Woodbury, which encompasses the hamlets of Central Valley, Highland Mills, and the forgotten Woodbury Falls. Learn about when the region had more cows than residents, when Jewish Bungalow Colonies brought many summer visitors, when the railroad first came to town, and the many famous people who once called this place their home.

episode Episode Seven: The Boarding Houses of Woodbury cover

Episode Seven: The Boarding Houses of Woodbury

In Episode Five, we covered some of Woodbury’s larger hotels that thrived during the era of local railroad traffic and farming more than one hundred years ago. Another side to these accommodations, however, was the many boarding houses that once populated Woodbury. Unlike a hotel, summer guests would become a part of a home’s family leading to experiences that have far more personal and memorable qualities. Join us on Episode Seven with Dorothy Morris, a long-time Woodbury Historical Society member and former chair of the Gatehouse Museum & Historic Site. Her family, the Helbings, once operated a boarding house in the town’s forgotten hamlet of Woodbury Falls near Cornwall along today’s Mineral Springs Road. Tune in as Dot’s unique glimpse into the past sheds light on how some chose to spend summer vacations when large, grand resorts were perhaps too expensive or too distant from community life.

Ethan I. Dodds: Woodbury's Nationally Famous Inventor

What if we told you that an inventor who had more patents than Thomas Edison and was a contemporary of George Westinghouse as well as Nikola Tesla once called Central Valley home? Episode six of A Walk Through Woodbury covers the rich history of Ethan Ira Dodds, an industrial engineer with more than 2,000 patents to his name with the cold light (fluorescent light) and circular saw as some of many items tied to his legacy. As many of Dodds’s inventions were used deep within railroad technology, his story has largely been neglected in modern history. The Woodbury Historical Society gained a rare opportunity to chronicle his story when, in June 2024, an interview was conducted with the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Ethan Dodds in the very same home where he once lived more than 100 years ago. Tune in to hear stories never shared with the public before about this brilliant, famous individual who once called Woodbury home.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
